"I thought that the affairs of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would be forgotten in the history books, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would bring these matters up now." Yang Su looked at the generals on the general stage who had just listened to the lecture and were "high-spirited".
, it felt a little strange for a while.
In fact, such historical allusions are nothing to the children who come from aristocratic families, and can even be said to be familiar. However, for these soldiers who come from different backgrounds, and can even be said to be from three religions and nine streams, such clichés are obviously not
It's very attractive. Yang Su doesn't know how useful it is, but at least from now on, it has successfully mobilized the morale of the army.
The army of the Han Dynasty does not lack motivation for profit. Victory after victory can ensure that the soldiers can obtain enough money and military honors, but it lacks another content, which is spiritual motivation. The soldiers are actually still fighting now.
Because Li Xinchen fought victoriously in every battle, they believed that Li Xinchen could lead them to victory. This was the greatest spiritual power.
However, such spiritual power does not last long. If Li Xingchen himself does not guarantee when he will make a mistake, the "myth will be shattered", let alone allow this spiritual power to continue to the next generation.
Throughout the dynasties, only soldiers who know why they are fighting and why they are fighting can truly maintain the high morale of an army. Not to mention the modern PLA, this is something that everyone knows clearly.
Starting from the pre-Qin era, Shang Yang's reform clarified for the first time what the Qin people wanted to do, which was to defend the country and "together in the national disaster". It told the old Qin people to fight for survival, so the Black Qin Dynasty rose in Guanzhong and was able to sweep Liuhe
And in the Han Dynasty, not to mention, whether Wei Qingyuan attacked Mobei or Huo Qubing sealed Lang Juxu, they were all to kill the Xiongnu, to defend the country, and to completely dissipate the dark clouds that had hung over the Han people for four generations.
.
But then, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the conflicts between the imperial court and the feudal towns intensified. In the Song Dynasty, the army became a place of distribution. When the soldiers entered the army, they no longer had anyone to be loyal to, and no one to insist on their progress.
In terms of spiritual strength, they simply fight for military pay and for military glory that may not fall on them at all. They do not feel the honor of opening up territories and the sense of mission of pursuing death and chasing north, so naturally they
I can't feel the shame of not being able to escape from the battlefield as a soldier.
In the late Ming Dynasty and even the Qing Dynasty, it was naturally even worse.
Many people may think that Li Xinchen's preaching about the deeds of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and even Zhao Zilong and Chen Qingzhi is unrealistic, but Li Xinchen knows that in just a few generations, an army will degenerate because it has no goal of progress. It cannot be
If you have been longing for an army, famous generals will emerge in endlessly, and history has proved that even if a famous general is born, once his ideas and strategies are completely behind the times, then even if he is a famous general, he will only have the fate of being slaughtered by others.
From the initial crossing of Congling to the subsequent defeat of Tongguan, Li Xinchen was very clear about what happened to the Tang army in one generation. This army could withstand victory, but it could not withstand defeat. Therefore, Li Xinchen needed an army that could not be afraid of sacrifice and be resolute.
Team forward, so that he and his descendants can support this dynasty and sweep the tide further afield.
Drinking in the Persian Gulf, the heyday of the Tang Dynasty in history!
"This is not a bad thing." Yang Yue stood beside Yang Su and whispered.
"Of course it's a good thing." Yang Su laughed and said, "I feel that I have endless power, sealing the wolf to Xu, swallowing the stone, that will really go down in history, Yang Su can do this in his life
At this point, the ancestors of the Hongnong Yang family will be proud!"
Yang Yue looked at Yang Su with some surprise. His brother had always been a calm character. It was for this reason that the old men in the family decisively let Yang Su sit as the head of the family at a young age. And the facts proved that
Yang Su is indeed such a person. He doesn't show his emotions or anger. Although he is only in his thirties, he is deeply involved in the city. He has led the Hongnong Yang family step by step from the place where Yang Min was killed more than 20 years ago.
Come out of the shadows.
Today's Yang Su no longer seems to be the Yang Su Yang Yue knew. He also has his own ambitions and dreams. He has shouldered so much for this family, and he also has things he wants to do.
"After leaving Yumenguan, go all the way to the west, Qiuci, Loulan, and further west is Congling. That is the place where my Han soldiers once stopped. It is the place where thirty-six riders can stir up troubles." Yang Su laughed loudly.
He smiled and said, "Sooner or later, I, Yang Su, will be on my feet!"
Yang Yue looked at Yang Su, as if this was the brother in his mind who had great ambitions.
Immediately Cong Ling... Yang Yue murmured in his heart.
As a scholar, I also yearn for Ban Dingyuan.
"Brother, brother!" At this time, a young man ran over quickly and said panting, "I finally found you, it's really lively here."
"It's time for you to train with the army. You've just walked a few steps from the academy and you're already so exhausted." Yang Su said dissatisfied, "Didn't I ask you to go to the academy to listen to it in the past two days? How could you get there?
Coming this way?”
This young man, or more accurately, a boy, was Li Yuan who went south with Yang Su. He patted his somewhat thin chest at the moment: "The mountain chief brought us here to collect the scenery. He said he wanted us to feel the iron horse.
spirit."
"Oh?" Yang Su was startled, "Mr. Xiaomu?"
Li Yuan nodded hurriedly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brother, you also know that scholars have always looked down on soldiers. If it weren't for people like Duke Xiaomu who came forward, who of those people in the academy would be willing to come?"
Although he can be regarded as a "scholar", Li Yuan does not have much objection to the military. His ancestor Li Hu was originally a military general, and the Li family in Longxi is also a family of military generals. However, Li Yuan, an "auditor", does not have any opinions, which does not mean that others do not have opinions.
, In this era, those who can study and study are the children of aristocratic families. Even people from poor families are not willing to stand with the lower-level soldiers. If Xu Ling hadn't come forward, they would definitely have dismissed it.
Yang Su nodded slightly, and Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Gong Xiaomu said that he would tell everyone about the frontier poems among the Yuefu poems at this place, so not only people in the academy, but also many people from other places came to listen."
"It's Mr. Xiaomu after all." Yang Su and Yang Yue looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Ling has been famous for a long time. Yu Xin is in the north and Xu Ling is in the south. They are recognized as two literary masters in the north and the south. Both of them have their own strengths. (To be continued)
