Chapter 93 Enlightened Abiao! On what to fight for! (5K request for moon)
'wrong.'
'Tetanus can't happen that quickly.'
Ji Boying carefully observed Xiao Zhusi for a few seconds and found that this was still different from the symptoms of tetanus.
Xiao Zhusi's face twitched irregularly, and he probably did so on his own initiative, which was completely different from Po Feng Sheng's unconscious muscle twitches.
Moreover, although he does not have a medical background, he still knows some common sense about tetanus.
Tetanus is commonly known as "seven-day madness". The incubation period is generally seven days, and even if it is acute, it can be more than ten hours. For Xiao Zhusi, it only took two or three hours from the time he was injured.
"What are you laughing at?"
Ji Boying frowned and looked at Xiao Zhusi and asked, his tone obviously somewhat displeased.
After all, if this kid really got tetanus, Ji Boying wouldn't be able to save him, but if he deliberately made faces to disturb the class, he should be beaten.
Suddenly, everyone else's eyes were focused on Xiao Zhu Si.
Being watched by so many people in an instant, the grinning Xiao Zhu Si was also stunned.
"I, I didn't laugh."
"I just have a bit of toothache..."
'Bang.'
Old Zhu picked up the mace and swung it out with lightning speed, hitting Xiao Zhu's four desks with perfect accuracy, frightening Hongwu Zhu Di into confusion.
Not to mention Xiao Zhusi, Ji Boying was stunned. This was too cruel, and he used the stick without saying a word.
"Father, forgive me!"
Xiao Zhu burst into laughter and knelt down in front of Lao Zhu.
"If you dare to interrupt my brother's lecture for no reason again, this stick will not fall on your desk."
Old Zhu glared at Little Zhu Si.
"Yes, yes yes!"
Xiao Zhusi was so frightened that his hands were trembling. He stood up and picked up the mace. He carefully and respectfully presented it to Old Zhu and put the mace back in its place.
Both Lao Zhu Di and Zhu Laosi watched with twitching eyes. The scenes of Lao Zhu being slapped in the past could not help but come to mind, and they both shuddered subconsciously.
"Dad, you can't do this."
Zhu Biao looked at Lao Zhu, frowned and said with a bit of harshness in his tone.
Before Ji Boying appeared, the only people in the world who could speak harshly to Lao Zhu were Zhu Biao and Queen Ma.
"Brother..."
Xiao Zhu Si raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao, feeling inexplicably moved that his eldest brother would speak to him in front of his father.
"If you throw it out like this, it will break the immortal master's desk and chairs, which is not good."
"Next time, you can let the fourth child stand up first and then fight."
Zhu Biao looked at Lao Zhu and suggested seriously.
Xiao Zhu Si, who was moved by his eldest brother’s righteousness just a second ago, was stunned on the spot: ??????
"Well, Biao'er is still thoughtful."
Lao Zhu nodded and glared at Xiao Zhu Si again.
"It was an honest mistake on his part, so it's okay."
Ji Boying's words saved Xiao Zhu Si's fate of being beaten.
"then."
A wave of hands.
Xiao Zhusi subconsciously raised his hand to grab it, and what fell in his hand was an object he had never seen before.
"Master Immortal, what is this?"
"Ibuprofen capsules, take them when you feel pain."
There was no other way. Ji Boying was not a doctor, let alone a dentist. He estimated that Xiao Zhu Si's gums were swollen, painful and inflamed, so he could only give Xiao Zhu Si some ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
Otherwise, this guy will definitely not be interested in listening to the class.
Toothache is not a disease, it hurts like hell.
"Thank you, Master Immortal!"
Xiao Zhusi was holding this tablet of ibuprofen, which was once hard to find in a certain period of time in later generations, and looked overjoyed.
"Well, sit down and listen to the lecture."
Ji Boying nodded and said nothing more.
"Each group sends a representative to tell you why the soldiers think they are fighting."
After saying this, Ji Boying looked at Abiao.
This Hongwu group does not need to be selected at all. The spokespersons are basically three good students, Zhu Biao, an outstanding model.
"Cough, cough."
Zhu Biao coughed twice, stood up, glanced at the others, and then looked at Ji Boying seriously.
"Return to the Immortal Master."
"I am a soldier who fights for the country."
One word is spoken with sonorous force.
"Okay! That's great!"
Lao Zhu clapped his hands and cheered, and the slap made a loud sound.
Ji Boying glanced at Lao Zhu and frowned slightly, I asked you to applaud?!
Lao Zhu quickly smiled and took his palm back in embarrassment.
"Brother Haihan, I got excited just now. I got so excited. I won't do it next time, haha, hahaha."
As a teaching assistant, he took the lead in disrupting classroom discipline.
"Next."
Ji Boying withdrew his gaze and looked at Jianwen Group again.
Jianwen, who was instructed by Zhu Laosi, pushed away his chair and slowly stood up.
"Master Immortal, I think we should fight for justice!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhu Laosi, and his eyes were more or less colored.
Don’t you just want to say that your case is just? Is it necessary to talk about it in class?
Even old Zhu Di can hardly stand it anymore.
"What about you?"
Ji Boying looked at Old Zhu Di again.
"Fight to clear the grassland, fight for the people."
On the question of 'why soldiers fight', Lao Zhu Di had almost no hesitation.
Emperor Hong Xi, who had rarely spoken, now spoke.
"I believe that soldiers should fight for peace."
In the eyes of Emperor Hongxi, the role of the army should be to intimidate and keep the world stable, rather than to engage in large-scale wars and continuous wars.
"It's your turn."
Ji Boying's expression has not changed at all since Zhu Biao began to answer, and is even a little gloomy, so that Lao Zhu and others are feeling uneasy.
Finally, his eyes fell on Emperor Xuande.
Of course, Xuande had no choice, because there was only Emperor Xuande.
Emperor Xuande took a deep breath and was silent for a moment.
"I thought soldiers fought for money."
The words just fell.
Ji Boying's gloomy face finally showed a smile, and someone finally made sense.
Others were stunned. Is fighting for money the right answer?!
"Wuyi, there is progress, not bad."
Ji Boying praised Emperor Xuande.
Emperor Xuande was stunned for a moment, then stood up in surprise and bowed deeply towards Ji Boying.
"It all depends on the teachings of the immortal master."
"Well, sit down."
Ji Boying nodded.
After giving Emperor Xuande an appreciative look, he quickly glanced at the others, including Emperor Hong Xi, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, and A Biao, until his eyes fell on Lao Zhu.
"You guys disappoint me so much."
As soon as the words came out, the whole class fell silent.
Under the gaze of Ji Boying, the emperors and princes looked like students who failed the final exam. Under the gaze of the teacher, they could not raise their heads, and felt a bit of guilt and shame in their hearts.
"Fight for the country, fight for justice, fight to clear the grassland, and fight for peace."
"Speaking of a thousand words, the only thing you consider in this matter is what you think of yourself."
In this era of family and world, the emperor represents the country, represents justice, represents peace, and represents all representations.
What these four groups said, Hongwu, Jianwen, Yongle, and Hongxi, can all be understood as fighting for the emperor, that is, fighting for themselves.
"Since you all want to fight for yourselves."
"Those tens of thousands of soldiers, don't they want to fight for themselves?!"
"Don't they have a heart?!"
The words came out like thunder, exploding in the hearts of these emperors and princes.
Even those warm-blooded militants like Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di, and Lao Zhu had their pupils shrinking.
'Fight for yourself.'
This sentence shook their minds.
Before this, they had never thought about this problem, and they would not think about it at all. They were the supreme emperor, the emperor on the dragon throne, how could they consider the needs of a big-headed soldier.
Although it is not as exaggerated as "why not eat minced meat", its essential logic is actually the same.
Abiao even trembled when he heard the words. These words kept echoing in his mind. He sat in his position for a long time, and then his expression slowly calmed down.
As for Zhu Gaochi, who always valued peace and people's livelihood, they clenched their fists tightly, as if they were thinking about something and were about to break through the original confinement.
"Let me ask you."
"Why did Qin's generals fight?"
"Why is it that the land of Qin is remote and far inferior to that of the Six Kingdoms, but the Qin army's combat power can be so strong in a short period of time? Why can it crush the armies of the Six Kingdoms on the ground?"
Up until the moment of Qin's fall, the Qin army's combat power had never weakened, and its combat power was still unparalleled in the world.
The fall of Qin lies in the temples and temples of the country, and has nothing to do with the combat power of the Qin army.
"Military meritocracy!"
Abiao blurted out.
"right."
"Then what is the core of the military merit system?!"
Ji Boying spoke and immediately raised his voice.
"The core is the emergence of the military merit system, which gives even the most ordinary soldier a chance."
"That is an opportunity to carve out a future and destiny for yourself, your family, your descendants, and future generations."
"A chance to fight for yourself."
One sentence after another fell into the ears of Lao Zhu and others, shaking the minds of these emperors and princes.
When they read history books, they only look at the process and process, and never think about the true meaning, let alone think deeply about this issue from the perspective of an ordinary soldier.
"I'll ask you again."
"Why did the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dominate the world, intimidate all barbarians, and make all nations come to court? Tang Tiankhan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Yongle was the first to answer.
"Because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had land that they did not have to pay taxes on, they fought to protect their fields from infringement."
Ji Boying smiled.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. As the influence continues, these emperors and princes have obviously begun to think proactively.
"Yes, but that's not all."
"In the War of the Tang Dynasty, the policy on the distribution of spoils and post-war rewards was extremely generous. After a great victory, the profits of the soldiers were many times more than what they could earn from cultivating acres of land."
"So the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were often happy when they heard about the battle, and their desire to fight and their morale were extremely high."
"Because every battle they fight is for themselves, for their families, and for their children to live a good life without fear."
"This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty's army was so powerful."
At this point, Ji Boying stopped.
These emperors and princes are all smart people, so they naturally understand what it means.
That’s pretty much it. It’s time for these emperors and princes to digest it for a while.
Silence lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
The entire main hall of Zuixian Tower made no sound except for the occasional mosquitoes flying by.
Phew~
A long shout.
"Master Immortal, I understand."
A Biao took a deep breath. After listening to Ji Boying's words, his back and forehead were covered with sweat, as if he had experienced a complete spiritual baptism.
After calming down a little, he spoke.
"The reason why the military garrison was corrupted was that the imperial court did not protect the interests of the military households at the beginning. As time went by, while the military households were oppressed by the court, their personal interests were constantly occupied and compressed by the powerful.
"
"Until it becomes difficult to survive and I have to flee for my life."
"The strong combat power of an army must come from every basic soldier."
"Soldiers can only fight for their country if they first fight for themselves."
"Only by protecting the interests of every soldier can the national army have a strong combat capability!"
"Every dynasty's military system collapses, and the initial point of collapse is when the interests of basic soldiers are not protected."
"In other words, the starting point for us to formulate the military system must start with every soldier."
When these words came out, Lao Zhu Di and others were shocked. They suddenly felt that they and Zhu Biao were not in the same class. They suddenly didn't recognize Zhu Biao.
Especially the three Zhu Di. They all have the same surname and are all born to the same father. Why is there such a huge gap between people?!
Ji Boying looked at Abiao with admiration in his eyes.
"Good, continue."
Including Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu Di and others, their eyes immediately fell on A Biao.
At this moment, Abiao straightened his back, and at this moment he was the brightest handsome guy in the room.
His theory was approved by the immortal master, and Abiao was obviously excited.
"Don't be nervous, follow your train of thought and continue speaking boldly."
"Try to think about it, what is the second keyword I mentioned earlier?"
While Ji Boying was speaking, Xiyu had already handed Zhu Biao a cup of herbal tea to calm his shock.
Abiao took the herbal tea from Xiyu's hand, took a few sips, and drank it all in one gulp.
After taking a deep breath, the light in his eyes flickered, like a pair of beacons in the darkness, shining through the darkness and welcoming the light.
"The recruitment system often appears when the military system initially established by a dynasty declines."
"For example, after the Tang Dynasty's Xuanyuan History, the Tang Dynasty Army collapsed, and the recruitment system became the main military system of the Tang Army. The reason why the recruitment system was able to replace the Tang Dynasty Army was essentially because the Fu Army System could not ensure the personal interests of the soldiers, while the recruitment system could in the short term.
."
"But the recruitment system also has its drawbacks. First, it places an increased burden on the court's finances. Second, if the court is not strong, it is extremely easy to breed warlords who are proud of their troops."
"The destruction of the Tang Dynasty was due to the eunuchs, and the other major factor was the warlord Jiedu who combined the three powers of finance and military into one."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao looked at Ji Boying, waiting for confirmation from Ji Boying.
"very good."
"That's very well said."
Ji Boying rarely praised Zhu Biao continuously.
If these emperors and princes could be as eager to learn and think as hard as A Biao, I wouldn't have to pay so much attention to each class.
Then, his eyes swept over the others.
"Do you all understand?"
Old Zhu Di was silent. He thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Master Immortal, I roughly understand the meaning, which is to ensure the personal interests of every soldier. In this way, the soldiers will fight for themselves first, and they will naturally fight for the country."
"The key is, what system are we going to use to ensure the personal interests of each soldier, and this system will not become corrupted over time."
In Lao Zhu Di's view, even the imperial military system that was recognized as the most perfect would eventually become corrupted due to changes in the empire, and he really couldn't think of any way to make up for this.
"Brother, we are also confused about this."
Lao Zhu took a deep breath. After Zhu Biao's enlightenment just now, he finally understood his own military system and why it would cause the guardsmen of later generations to collapse at the first touch.
When he established the military garrison system, he only thought about how to squeeze the labor force and production materials from the military households. He never thought about how to create and safeguard the interests of the military households.
The horses have to eat grass if they want to run, let alone fight in battle.
To put it bluntly, Lao Zhu suffered a disadvantage because of his background, because he was accustomed to poverty since he was a child, and he suffered from one meal and one meal, which led to the word "short-sightedness" about the system engraved in his bones.
In addition, after Lao Zhu ascended the throne, his methods were ruthless and decisive, and even the ministers who noticed the shortcomings of the system did not dare to say anything if they wanted to dissuade him.
This point, from the enfeoffment of kings, clan salaries, military garrison and other systems, is almost a loophole in logic, and mathematics is not good.
"Please ask the immortal master to clarify your doubts."
Zhu Laosi stood up and bowed deeply towards Ji Boying on the podium.
Then, Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande also stood up one after another, and all of them held the disciple's ceremony and saluted Ji Boying.
Lianxiang, who was writing shorthand on the side at this moment, was fascinated by what he was listening to. She looked at Ji Boying's bright eyes with admiration.
"Brother, let's talk."
Lao Zhu finally stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed to Ji Boying.
Ji Boying glanced at the group of emperors and princes who were bowing to him, and spoke slowly.
"I have said before that any fixed military system cannot last forever."
"A drop of water can penetrate stone, let alone a system that runs a huge imperial army."
"So, we are building the physical system at the same time."
"One more thing is needed. Only if this thing exists and runs through the entire army can the established physical system operate as well as possible."
"Because the system can be corrupted, but things like this will not."
After Ji Boying finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the panel hanging with rice paper. Lianxiang quickly put down the pen in his hand and presented it to the podium with a pen in hand.
'Another thing?'
Lao Zhu, A Biao, Lao Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, Emperor Hong Xi, Emperor Jianwen, and several other princes were stunned when they heard this, and looked closely at the pen in Ji Boying's hand.
They were very curious as to what could be more important to an army than the military system.
I saw Ji Boying writing a line of words on the rice paper with a pen in his hand.
"With the faith of the country, the soul of the iron-blooded army"
