Chapter 455: There is no better way to use troops than one!
Wang Ben said with tears in his eyes:
"I am incompetent and cannot help Your Majesty."
"I am ashamed to trust Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"I have only one order for you."
"Live well."
"If that day comes in the future, Da Qin may still rely on you."
Wang Ben nodded repeatedly and said:
"I obey the order."
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben and didn't say much on this matter. He changed the subject and asked, "Did Wang Li tell you about today's court meeting?"
Wang Ben said:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"I do have ears to hear what is going on in the court."
Ying Zheng said: "Since you know it, what do you think of Ying Sinian's proposal?"
Wang Ben raised his eyebrows.
He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at the First Emperor.
He said in a deep voice:
"I think what the Tenth Young Master said is reasonable."
"The South China Sea strategy back then, due to the unification of the world, could only use the old Qin people to quickly pacify the border barbarians. However, today's country has been established for several years, and the strategy set back then is no longer applicable."
"The Tenth Young Master proposed to change the source of troops. I think it is indeed for the sake of the country."
"As for the generals who lead the army."
"The Tenth Young Master is also very considerate."
"Zhang Han, the guard general of Lishan, has been doing things in an orderly manner since he took over Lishan. He has not made any major mistakes. Whether it is running the army or managing the prisoners' labor, he is flawless. Moreover, most of the prisoners in Lishan are disobedient. Zhang Han
To be able to manage like this is a testament to his talent."
"also."
"If we really change the source of troops."
"That is to say, a large number of Chu people were conquered and hundreds of Yue people were recruited into the army. The army will definitely be a mixed bag. If the generals are not carefully selected, there will be big problems. However, Zhang Han does have a unique advantage compared to other generals. With ease, he should
Is the best candidate.”
"I approve of Zhang Han as the general!"
Wang Ben lowered his head, his face full of solemnity.
Ying Zheng stared at Wang Ben coldly and said in a cold voice: "Wang Ben, you know, this is not what I am asking you. You have known me for so many years, and I have always trusted you. At this time, why?
Do you need to be so secretive?"
Wang Ben trembled.
Trembling:
"Your Majesty, please speak frankly."
"I...I really don't know."
Wang Ben didn't dare to raise his head at all.
Ying Zheng withdrew his gaze and stood with his hands behind his back.
Indifferently said:
"you know!"
"You just don't want to say it."
"Because once the position of 'Army Sima' proposed by Ying Sinian is implemented, the situation in the army will definitely change drastically, and the number of people like you who will not accept the order of the foreign emperor will also be greatly reduced.
, and the generals’ powers will be further weakened.”
"You know everything."
"You have actually seen the secret a long time ago."
"You just don't dare to say it."
"Because you are the biggest beneficiary of the existing military system."
"Am i right?"
"Wang Ben!"
Ying Zheng stared at Wang Ben with cold eyes.
Wang Ben's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"I have no such intention."
"I am in terrible health, and my survival depends entirely on your majesty's kindness. However, the number of children in the Wang family has long since withered away, and it is difficult for me to shoulder the important responsibilities. How can I dare to resist such a major national event?"
"The Wang family has been with Qin for generations and has never had any different intentions."
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Talking room.
Wang Ben turned over and tried to kneel down to defend himself.
Ying Zheng took action to stop it.
He said in a deep voice:
"I know that the Wang family has no different intentions."
"I also know that you, Wang Ben, are loyal, otherwise why would I come to ask you? I came here today to ask your opinion on this matter, and if I allow the establishment of a 'Military Sima' in the army, what will happen to the army?"
What impact does it have?”
"I trust you so much, don't let me down."
"I would like to thank your Majesty for your trust." Wang Ben gasped in a hissing voice, trying to calm himself down. After taking a short breath, he said: "I don't know what the purpose of the 'Military Sima' set up by the Tenth Young Master is, but once the Military Sima is established,
, the impact on the military will definitely be very obvious."
"Since ancient times, all dynasties, or princes, have had very simple requirements for their soldiers, that is, if they can listen to the golden drums and see the flags, just by doing this, they can be called
He is a first-class soldier."
"If you can obey orders and prohibitions, you are already one of the most elite in the world. If coupled with sophisticated weapons and suitable battle formations, these soldiers can be enough to defeat ten or even more. However, looking at China for thousands of years,
Very few can achieve this effect.”
"Since the Zhou Dynasty, only a few people such as Sun Wu, Sima Ranju, Sun Bin, Wu Qi, Zhao She, and Bai Qi can do it. Even so, they are almost unrivaled in the world."
""Sun Tzu: Military Struggle" says: The one who drums the flag of the Jin clan is the eyes and ears of one person. Since people are single-minded, the brave cannot advance alone, and the timid cannot retreat alone. This is the method of using the crowd."
"This statement means that those who are good at using troops can unify the orders of the entire army, so leading the entire army into battle is like leading one man. Therefore, Sun Tzu clearly defined a way to use troops."
"That's 'one'!"
"The military strategists of later generations fully recognized this."
"There is no better way to use military force than this."
"However, since the Zhou Dynasty, 'one' has gradually been regarded by military strategists as meaning that the whole army has the same will and actions, that is, the leading generals have unified command authority over the army. But if we really study it carefully, 'one' actually does not only have this meaning.
.”
"Yellow Emperor once said: 'First, it is based on the Tao, it is similar to the gods, its use lies in the opportunity, its display lies in its power, and its success lies in the king. Therefore, the sage king's trumpeting the soldiers is a murderous weapon, and it is used as a last resort.'"
“The ‘one’ of the army should come from ‘jun’.”
"It's just that no one thought of a solution in the past, so it has always been the personal will of the army generals that has become the will of the entire army, and not all of it comes from the 'jun'. But now the suggestion put forward by the Tenth Young Master may be the change that the Yellow Emperor made back then.
The 'one' in words is realized one by one."

"Right now......"
Wang Ben paused for a moment.
Continued:
"The general will only be responsible for leading troops to fight from now on. All his command authority comes from the 'king', and the soldiers will gradually not care who the general is, because when they are trained, the will they receive comes from the 'king'. The king
Has absolute control over the military."
"Even if the generals have different intentions in the future and want to lead their troops to rebel, there may be a direct situation where the generals cannot command the soldiers and the soldiers do not obey orders. If you want to do this, you may have to greatly increase the authority of the army commander."
"The general's function will be split into two."
"Generals are only responsible for leading troops to fight, while army commanders are responsible for the thinking of the army."
"If this continues, a situation may arise."
"The army commander has the authority to mobilize and train troops, but he may not necessarily know how to fight. The general can fight, but he does not have the authority to mobilize and train troops. This keeps the army under the control of the 'king'."
"only......"
"This practice places high demands on soldiers."
"If the quality of the soldiers is not enough, there may be a situation where the soldiers do not know the generals and the generals do not know the soldiers. Then there will be big problems in the command. Not only will the combat effectiveness not be improved, but it will be greatly reduced."
"I can't judge good or bad at the moment."
Wang Ben said everything that was on his mind.
Ying Zheng listened quietly.
After thinking about it carefully, Ying Zheng asked: "As you said, how can we improve the quality of soldiers? If it is extended to the entire army, what difficulties will there be?"
Wang Ben looked hesitant.
He said in a deep voice:
"If we want the soldiers to follow orders without knowing the general, we can only conduct a lot of training so that the soldiers can familiarize themselves with various battle formations and military flags, and at the same time know what they should do, so that they can use their arms like an arm when they go to the battlefield.
refer to."
"But it's not easy to achieve this."
"Furthermore, Da Qin's current military system does not support it. Unless the sergeants and soldiers can stay in the army for a long time for training, the effect will not be ideal."
"The most suitable thing now is actually what the Tenth Young Master said."
"That is, after recruiting soldiers, they are trained for a certain period of time, and their thoughts are integrated during the training, thereby improving the soldiers' sense of identity and combat effectiveness."
Hear the words.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
He was obviously not happy about this.
But Ying Zheng also knew that what Wang Ben said was true.
If you insist on insisting, not only will you fail to achieve your goal, but it will also greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the army.
This is actually more gain than loss.
Ying Zheng's expression returned to normal, and he said calmly: "As you said, can military commanders really have the effect of integrating soldiers and strengthening unified thinking?"
Wang Ben said: "It does have this effect."
Ying Zheng nodded and said:
"That way, I feel relieved."
"The matter in the South China Sea has indeed been delayed for too long and it should be resolved."
"If we can use this to ease the local hostility towards Qin and allow the local area to integrate more deeply into the Qin Dynasty and understand Qin's laws, it would be a good suggestion."
Wang Ben said:
"What the Tenth Young Master said is for the sake of the country and the people."
"I think it is a great good thing!"
Ying Zheng shook his head.
Said: "This kid usually relies on some cleverness. If he knew that you had such a high opinion of him, I don't know how proud he would be."
Wang Ben said in a deep voice:
"How can my humble opinion penetrate my eyes?"
"It's just that the tenth young master's opinion is indeed the best policy."
Ying Zheng turned around.
He opened his mouth and said:
"It's getting late, you should have some rest."
"I will go back first."
Finished.
Ying Zheng looked at Wang Ben and teased: "Ying Sinian values you very much. I really want to know what else he has in mind."
"Ha ha."
Ying Zheng laughed loudly, turned and left.
Wang Li cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, walk slowly."
When Ying Zheng walked away, Wang Ben slumped down on the recliner and let out a sigh of relief. He had actually expected that the First Emperor would come and what he would ask, but he did not expect that the First Emperor would come.
So straightforward and without any suspicion.
He also felt it vaguely.
Your Majesty may really decide that Ying Si will be your heir apparent.
Otherwise, given His Majesty's character, why would you accept it completely without making any changes? What's more, this matter also involves the army.
To know.
Your Majesty has a very tight grip on military power.
There is no chance for outsiders to get involved.
But this time, His Majesty let go.
Which means.
How could he not see it?
The reason why he didn't say anything before was because the Tenth Young Master was involved at this time. He was worried that his opening would cause a rift between the First Emperor and the Tenth Young Master, but His Majesty didn't seem to care at all.
