[On the homepage of the history category, thank you to the editor for your attention, and to all readers for your love. Wufeng has nothing else to give, and I can only dedicate the stable updates to everyone as always] Yunzheng's will can be reflected, and there is no obstacle.
be implemented
The one-hour military posture training of the captains has been completed, and now they have been allowed to rest freely.
Even though all of these officers who have just been promoted to captain have gone through at least a few years of hard work, and most of them are elites who were promoted after meritorious service in the war, their military posture at this moment still stands.
Their whole bodies were sore and weak
People are not machines. If a person has to keep all the muscles in his body tense for a long time, he will soon find that he is tired. However, the situation in front of him is not a fierce battlefield, and their attention will not be distracted by other things.
Things are attracted to you, so your mind will subconsciously pay attention to the affected parts of yourself. This will make you feel even more tired and unbearable - obviously this is a vicious cycle.
However, adversity can best temper one's will. This vicious cycle is exactly what Yunzheng needs to bring to his officers.
The thirty-six thousand captains had all sat down on the ground. However, because the general, deputy general, and the three chief officers of Yingyangwei were all there, even though Yun Zheng had ordered them to rest freely, they still consciously maintained their position.
I took a look at my image and didn't dare to be too presumptuous - at least I wasn't lying directly on the ground.
Yunzheng walked over and laughed. He was not as cold as before, but had a spring breeze: "What do you think? If you have any ideas, just say them."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke first.
Yun Zheng knew that the soldiers of this era were different from those of later generations, especially the military training in college at that time was completely different. They did not have much thought of "going against" their superiors, let alone the courage. This was not their own problem, but
It is the ideological ethos of the entire society. The source of this ethos. Some people say it is the Confucian theory of the king and his ministers. This theory is superficial.
Since Qin Shihuang unified China, and then Dong Zhongshu dominated Confucianism, an indelible mark has been forever stamped on the Chinese people's thinking: great unification.
However, the real idea of great unification actually began to flourish during the reign of Emperor Huang and Emperor Yan. It was only after the Qin and Han dynasties that this idea emerged from the ground and quickly became mainstream, even penetrating into the marrow of the entire Chinese nation. Throughout Chinese history, any rebellious
People with this idea will either struggle or be destroyed, and even after death they will be reviled by future generations.
According to historical records and myths and legends, there were once three large tribal groups living on the land of China: the Huangdi tribe, the Yandi tribe and the Jiuli tribe. Later, the Yan and Huang tribes united to defeat the Jiuli tribe, and the Yandi tribe and the Huangdi tribe formed an alliance.
, lived and multiplied for a long time in the Yellow River Basin, and formed the main component of the later Chinese people. Therefore, the two emperors Yan and Huang became the common ancestors of the Chinese nation.
The idea of great unification continues on the basis of the myths and legends of the ancestors of China. For example, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yuan, the founding emperor of the former Zhao Dynasty, was originally a Huns, but his founding name was "Han" and he called himself King of Han.
The Xianbei people who worshiped the gods of the three ancestors and five sects under the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty also regarded themselves as the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. "The Yellow Emperor regarded the King of Tu De, and the northern customs called the soil as the support, and called the queen as the postscript, so he took it as his surname." Helianbobo established the Xia Kingdom
, "Since I am the descendant of the Xiongnu Xia family, the country is called Daxia." This is to explain that I inherit the Zhengshuo of the Xia Dynasty and regard myself as the orthodox emperor of China. Even the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom, the current enemies of the Wei Dynasty, always call themselves Daxia.
The author is the Yan Emperor, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. The "History of the Liao" records that the Khitan people are "Queen Xuanyuan" and "the ancestors of the Liao came from the Yan Emperor and were the Shenji Kingdom" - regardless of whether these statements are true or false, at least it can be shown that the Liao people
Everyone knows that if they don't stand firm on this "ancestor" issue, then they will definitely not be able to rule the Central Plains Dynasty, which has a strong idea of unification. As for whether they have the strength to defeat the Central Plains Dynasty, that is another matter.
All the dynasties in China, whether they were established by the Han people or the dynasties established by ethnic minorities, regarded themselves as the orthodox successors of Chinese civilization, and all regarded "unifying the world" as their most basic political goal, and did not allow the existence of separatist regimes for the Chinese nation.
Strong cohesion comes from the self-identity of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in Chinese culture. This sense of cultural belonging transcends nationality, race, region, and national boundaries and has become a common psychological trait of the people of all ethnic groups in China, thus bringing about the unified culture of China.
centripetal force
But how did this powerful thought come about? This is the skill of Confucianism. Yunzheng naturally knew that later generations despised Confucian culture for a period of time, but he knew that Confucian culture played a huge role in maintaining the political structure of ancient China.
irreplacable
Confucian scholars advocate that two major relationships should be properly handled: the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Sixth Discipline and the Huayi distinction
The Three Cardinal Principles and the Six Disciplines are proposed on the basis of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles. The Three Cardinal Principles originated from Confucius and Mencius. Confucius emphasized the monarch, ministers, father and son, and son. Mencius emphasized the relationship between father and son, the righteousness between monarch and minister, and the distinction between husband and wife.
The basis of the three cardinal principles
The Five Constant Virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith were also first advocated by Confucius and Mencius. Dong Zhongshu first clearly proposed the concept of "Three Cardinal Guidelines" in "Chun Qiu Fan Lu" and believed that "the three cardinal principles of the king's way can be
Seek it from heaven." "The meanings of king and minister, father and son, and husband and wife are all based on the principle of yin and yang." Therefore, "the king is yang and the minister is yin; the father is yang and the son is yin; the husband is yang and the wife is yin."
Dong Zhongshu regarded the Wuchang principle as the basic criterion for adjusting the relationship between the three cardinal principles. Based on Dong Zhongshu's theory of the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles, Ban Gu's "Bai Hu Tong? Three cardinal principles and six disciplines" of the Eastern Han Dynasty established the nine major relationships of the three cardinal principles and the six disciplines.
According to the views of later Master Ji Xianlin, the Three Cardinal Principles and the Sixth Anniversary include the spirit of patriotism, such as the principle of the king serving his ministers. Whether a person is a virtuous person or not is irrelevant. The person is just a symbol, a symbol, and he symbolizes culture.
, which symbolizes the three cardinal principles and six disciplines of the country, "actually talks about the relationship between nine aspects: the country and the people, father and son, husband and wife, father's brother, own brother, tribesman, mother's brother, teacher and friend." These relationships
If it is handled well, the country will naturally be stable and united. Yun Zheng thinks this is indeed very reasonable.
In order to realize the great unification, Confucianism also emphasized the importance of the distinction between Hua and Yi. Yi was originally a derogatory name for foreigners in ancient China. It was first used for the Eastern peoples and was called "Dongyi". After the Spring and Autumn Period, all ethnic groups outside the Central Plains were derogatory names.
The four tribes of "Southern Barbarians", "Beidi", "Xirong" and "Eastern Yi" were collectively called "Four Yi". However, later Hua and Yi were mainly used in the sense of civilization or not.
"Yang Zhuan" regards the presence or absence of etiquette as the boundary between Hua and Yi. As long as all Yi and Di countries can abide by etiquette, they should be treated equally with the Chinese nation. On the contrary, whoever abandons etiquette among the Chinese nation will become a "new Yi Di"
"All civilized people who follow etiquette are members of the Chinese family.
Yunzheng has always believed that Chinese civilization is a great cultural system. For the Chinese people, it is a centripetal force and a force of return. It is the cohesion that unifies China because it does not have a narrow national consciousness, let alone annexing everything.
Great nationalism is the sublimation of national consciousness. It is a standard and a level. Those who meet the standard are China and Huaxia. Those who lag behind are barbarians and barbarians. China can retreat to barbarians and barbarians can advance to Huaxia and China.
It is precisely because of this point of view that Yun Zheng is a bit cold and even indifferent in dealing with important matters. From his attitude towards the Qinglong Sect, it can be seen that he does not care about the Qinglong Sect raising troops, because the Qinglong Sect raising troops can make the old man cause trouble for himself.
The imperial court came to a standstill, so he didn't even care how many innocent lives would be involved once this incident broke out. The powerful view of "family is greater than country" in this era affected him, and in his view, the Wei Dynasty was originally
It is the Lin family's home. He really doesn't have much sense of belonging to the "country" in a world where one family has one surname.
However, if the Qinglong Sect could threaten the survival of the Wei Dynasty, Yun Zheng would never sit idly by because in his opinion, an organization based on a cult could never become the ruler of China, just like the Hong Yang Rebellion in later generations.
, that is definitely not a revolution, that is a complete riot to let them rule China, which can only lead to the regression of Chinese civilization. In terms of Yunzheng's world view and values, he absolutely cannot tolerate the occurrence of this situation.
However, Confucianism’s Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules, or the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Six Disciplines, have also led to some negative consequences. If nothing else, let’s just talk about the problem he is facing now: blind obedience.
Yunzheng estimated that most of his officers may have a thought: the young marshal is the marshal's legitimate son and the future marshal, so the young marshal's orders must be carried out. At the same time, the young marshal's essays and martial arts are rare geniuses in the world.
, then the Young Marshal’s consideration must be correct. If my ideas are not in line with the Young Marshal’s, it must be that I don’t think as far ahead as the Young Marshal, and I don’t think as thoroughly as the Young Marshal. So there is a result, that is, "understanding must be implemented."
,You have to implement it even if you don’t understand it”
Yun Zheng felt that this issue should be looked at separately. From a soldier's point of view, obeying orders is of course a bounden duty. However, as a mid-level and senior officer, you have to make some considerations of your own. You can't just ask casually. They all said, "Young Marshal, I respectfully ask for your decision."
"?
Although Yunzheng has recently become accustomed to being a "superior person", he has not forgotten his past life thinking. He knows that people all make mistakes. A superior person's mistakes will have more impact than an ordinary person's mistakes.
He didn't want the first army he led to cause any trouble. Although he felt that standing in a military posture, walking in formation and running would definitely be of great benefit to the army, he also knew that he was facing an army after all.
God knows what's wrong with the "ancient" army?
"Why, there's no problem?...Well, starting from tomorrow, you will stand for two hours in the morning, and after lunch, you will stand for another two hours in the afternoon," Yun Zheng said without seeming to care.
As soon as this statement came out, the new commander was shocked. Some people were shocked and said: "Two hours at a time?... And standing twice a day?"
Yun Zheng chuckled: "Why, do you have an opinion now?"
When the commander saw his young commander "staring" at him with a smile and asked if he had any objections, he immediately panicked and said hurriedly: "Ah... no, no objections!"
Although Yunzheng understood the reason, he still cursed in his heart, I'm not a monster, what the hell are you so afraid of, and you don't even dare to express your opinion? - But obviously he really doesn't dare.
After despising these people in his heart, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed. What should I do if they are not willing to give me suggestions and opinions? I originally planned to imitate Prussia's ** and set up a general staff of Yingyangwei.
Well, it seems that we don’t have to think about it for the time being... Damn it, people say that Prussia’s victory in the Franco-Prussian War was decided in Prussian primary school classes. I used to read without asking for a thorough understanding, but I really didn’t think it was such an exaggeration. Now I am leading the troops myself.
Only then did I realize that this was indeed true! But it’s useless even if I know this stuff. How can I still go to the court and shout at the top of my lungs, “Compulsory education is required”? You know, this is a feudal society under the rule of Confucianism.
In society, the damn phrase "the people can control it, but cannot make it known" is ruling the thinking of the upper class of the entire country. If I go and ask the court to pay for reading to every child, I estimate that nine out of ten will be eliminated.
Treat it as a mental illness, but what can be done...
Yunzheng fell into thinking. Education is of course a big plan, but the situation in the Wei Dynasty now is completely different from that of Prussia in 1717. There is no comparison at all. Not to mention black households, the population registered in the Wei Dynasty’s Ministry of Household Statistics is 80 million. This
There are at least 10 million children and teenagers of schooling age inside. If the imperial court pays for so many people to study, the imperial court will lose at least 50 million taels of silver every year. Even if the economy of the Wei Dynasty is prosperous and the annual income of the imperial court is
It is close to 100 million, and I absolutely cannot afford to talk about this matter. I, as a young commander from a border town, have no say at all. I can't participate at all. In addition, major families are unwilling to increase the power of poor families and restrict civilians from studying, and Confucianism almost
Just teach people how to be a person but not how to do things... Wait, wait, wait, it's a lot of trouble. There is no possibility of nationwide reform now.
We can only proceed step by step, and Yun Zheng sets the tone for himself. Considering that he has little power, the only solution that can be considered at present is - Yun Family Young Eagle Academy!
Young Eagle Academy is the family "school" of the Yun family. Of course, it is a private school. Only the children of the Yun family and the children of the main generals of the Yun family can study in Young Eagle Academy. According to the regulations of Young Eagle Academy, children can start from the age of five.
Enrollment, the normal graduation age is eighteen years old, but after the age of fifteen, you will be assigned to the Yun Family Army for "internship". In fact, the last three years are not spent in the college. The college allows early graduation and early "internship"
, students who need to graduate and intern in advance must pass a strict assessment. This assessment is much more difficult than normal graduation, so there are very few people who intern and graduate in advance - but Yunzheng is one of them. He is twelve years old.
He passed the internship at the age of 18 and passed the graduation examination shortly before Yunzheng traveled through time.
The curriculum of Young Eagle Academy is divided into three categories: cultural foundation, tactics and strategies, and martial arts. According to Yun Zheng, this is a specialized military school, but its span is relatively large, covering everything from elementary school to university.
Just go in, but the grade planning of this school is too strict. For example, which group of children can learn what and to what extent, these are all planned. For example, the direct descendants of the Yun family can turn thirty-six tricks into a shadow halberd.
After learning, the children of the branch can learn the twenty-four moves, while the children of other families will not learn the Shadow Halberd at all - this is something that Yun Zheng cannot understand. In his opinion, professional "
"Military academies" is a relatively progressive idea, most likely influenced by previous time travellers. However, this academy uses this kind of close relationship to determine what students can learn. This seems a bit too feudal.
Yun Zheng had some vague ideas, but he couldn't explain clearly. Young Eagle Academy was a good foundation for the Yun family. He might be able to make some improvements on this basis... But I'm afraid this would have to wait until he made money at least before he could implement it.
Got it
"Since there is no objection, it is settled. But tomorrow you will not gather here to stand. Instead, you will gather the centurions under your command together and teach them how to stand in this new military posture. Then stand facing them and stand by yourself.
Okay, at the same time, you should also keep an eye on them... The chief commander, the deputy chief commander and the supervisor will be patrolling here. As long as you stand there, we will patrol for as long as you want to make sure that no one dares to be lazy and not practice! Do you understand!?"
Yun Zheng said "Do you understand?" very loudly, and everyone stood up quickly and said loudly: "Understood!"
Yun Zheng nodded: "Disband! - What are you waiting for? Remember in the future, this refers to 'disband', which means you can leave now!"
A group of captains looked relieved. Seeing Yun Zheng turn around and leave, they relaxed one by one and went back to the camp in twos and threes.
Yun Zheng frowned, found Yun Yi and Xu Shaoyang, and said directly: "I have a few new passwords that I want to discuss with you."
