The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1198

[1198. Chapter 1143 Sun Chen is willing to be a lackey]

The old pawn…

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian both found it incredible.

Even Zhu Houzhao was confused.

Regarding the old pawn, Zhu Houzhao once mocked Fang Jifan.

But now it seems that this trick works!

Just when everyone was confused.

Zhu Zaimo said with a smile: “Liu Laoxi has been with students and others day and night. He is rich in experience. He has stayed in Jinzhou for more than thirty years. He has been garrisoning in Jinzhou in the cold weather for a whole life. . After several Tatar attacks, two camp bombings, and a rebellion by the army, he was even transferred to Haixi to deal with the Jurchen rebellion. He was neither literate nor knowledgeable. The prominent family has been a military household for generations. Does your majesty know what Liu Laoxi’s biggest thought was in his life?”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned. He thought for a moment: “Is it to kill the enemy and do meritorious service to show favor to his wife?

Zhu Zaimo shook his head: “Your Majesty, Liu Laoxi’s biggest wish in his life is that his son will have a daughter-in-law.”

“…”

Zhu

Zaimo added: “Military households have been military households for generations, and they have lived a good life .”

It was miserable. Therefore, families with daughters would rather marry hundreds of miles away than devote themselves to the children of military families. When Liu Laoxi’s father was around, it was when Emperor Wen and Emperor Xuan were there, the military The life of a household was pretty good, but in Liu Laoxi’s generation, it was a bit difficult to find a wife. Mr. Liu was lucky. He had a sister who married another military household, but he married the other man’s sister. , I just have a family, but it will be even more difficult for a family without a daughter to get a wife.”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn’t help but be surprised.

He could not have imagined that there were such bizarre things in the world.

“Your Majesty also knows that if the soldiers in the army go out to fight, they must first pay for their pensions. Otherwise, the soldiers will definitely have no fighting spirit. This is because if the court only makes empty promises, it will not be fulfilled when it is fulfilled. “

Young master, for them, they will only fight with real money first.”

“Of course, these are secondary. Liu Laoxi has followed countless generals on the battlefield throughout his life, and has experienced various rebellions. He has also guarded countless days and nights. He understands the hearts of everyone in the army, and knows what those people who are wrapped in uniform armor and who are just a number in the military department long for. How to desert during the night watch, how to avoid the censure of superiors during drills, and where they spent the pension given by the court. He knows all these things. “

My teacher said that fighting is the simplest thing .”

As early as two thousand years ago, everyone in the art of war pointed out that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle!”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded thoughtfully.

This was a completely new angle. Looking at the problem from this angle, Emperor Hongzhi actually seemed to have learned something.

Liu Jian listened with rapt attention and just hoped to continue listening.

Although Zhu Houzhao was a little unconvinced and wanted to use this to refute something, he found that he seemed to…can’t find any loopholes for the time being.

Zhu Zaimo said: “So, if you want to win the war, you just need to know yourself and the enemy. This is a very simple truth that anyone can understand. But it is difficult to do it. Among them, knowing yourself and the enemy, and wanting to know the enemy is actually the most important thing. It’s easy. As long as you send out enough scouts, you can understand the enemy’s intentions, the strength of the enemy’s troops, and the preferences of the enemy generals. “In fact, the real difficulty is to know the confidants.

“

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan laughed happily.

This guy always looks very honest and honest every time he is praised.

“Yes.” Zhu Zaimo nodded: “This is the most easily overlooked point among the superior generals. Many generals only know the number of our troops and how much supplies they have, so they think they are close friends, but they don’t know that their own The army, what are they thinking, what experiences do they have, why do they fight, how do they motivate them, how do they boost their morale? They drive people to the battlefield like a flock of sheep, thinking that they are sitting in a big tent. If war is so easy, then… can a sheepherder also be a general?

“But, Your Majesty, soldiers are not sheep, just like Liu Laoxi, who lives in this world ?”

There may even be more wisdom than the people in this palace. The superiors regard them as sheep, but they don’t know that they are the best at protecting themselves on the battlefield. They know when to start fleeing, and they know when. You can swarm up, know where to hide if the opponent starts shooting arrows, and know how to survive if you encounter cavalry. They are too smart, but the generals regard them as fools. How can the court do this for people who cannot know themselves and their enemies? “

How about entrusting them with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of flesh and blood?”

“Sun Chen has learned too many things from Liu Laoxi. This is also a Zhengde guard who can kill one person within a few months. The reason for the strength of the war is that because we know that the soldiers are thinking about their parents and relatives, Zhengde Weili will set up a special organization. If someone’s mother is sick, we will try our best to let them contact people to visit the mother. If someone’s wife wants to give birth to a child, even if the man is in the camp, he will send someone to send some thoughts. These are actually just small things that don’t cost much time, let alone much money, but this… can make the soldiers “

We can stay in the camp with peace of mind.”

“Not only that, when the soldiers entered the camp, they thought they were humble. In their hearts, joining the army is a humble thing. So… Sun Chen took his junior brothers and three of them. During the day, they need to patrol every corps. Even if they just chat with them for a few words, it will make them feel that although the Sun ministers are superior, they have never looked down on them. They and Sun Like the ministers, they are indispensable to our Ming Dynasty. “

“Also… During the drill, the Sun ministers drilled with them. With this example, no one dares to be lazy in setting military regulations and strictly implement them. , even if people close to Sun Chen violate military regulations, they will still be punished. In this way, it can be fair and just, and naturally no one will be punished for violating military regulations. “

“The training is too hard and the soldiers are physically exhausted. This is what Liu Laoxi encountered in Jinzhou. When a new officer takes office, there will always be some military attaches who want to train an elite army and make achievements. But the training lasted half a month. , couldn’t hold on, why? Is it because they didn’t have perseverance? No, it was because the soldiers couldn’t stand such a torment. After only half a month of intensive training, the soldiers’ weak bodies collapsed. Most of them. Therefore, we need to train them and let them have enough food and drink to make them strong enough to cope with this terrible training.”

“Your Majesty, this is the benefit of knowing one’s own weaknesses. Improve and make up for your own problems. Only in this way can you be invincible. This is what Liu Laoxi taught the trainee and Sun Chen. The so-called three people walking together must have my teacher. This is the words of Sage Kong. In today’s world, those who claim to be disciples of saints are not self-righteous, complacent, and have eyes above their heads. In their eyes, the so-called teacher must be famous all over the world, must be able to quote scriptures with his mouth, and must learn from ancient and modern times, otherwise… …They will treat you like a plague and dare not approach you. Instead, they look down upon you and look ashamed to be in your company. How many people who claim to be disciples of the saint have learned the essence of the saint Confucius? It is ridiculous and deplorable. Ah.”

Emperor Hongzhi’s heart skipped a beat. He was so mesmerized when he heard it, but when he heard this, it was as if Zhu Zaimo’s picture was revealed.

Liu Jian’s old face was a little red…

but Fang Jifan was elated, and then the pride quickly passed over his face.

He was very happy in his heart. He was indeed his most beloved disciple and the softest piece of his heart.

“This is also the reason why Sun Chen admires his mentor. He… after he became a saint just now, he is a master of ancient and modern knowledge and has consistently applied the knowledge of Confucius. A Liu Laoxi may be looked down upon by the princes in the temple. He was despised by those elite scholars, but such a person was a good teacher and helpful friend. He also had his own knowledge. No one usually pays attention to this knowledge, but his mentor discovered it. I dare to ask Your Majesty, for thousands of years, Who can do this?

Zhu Zaimo said this and bowed: “Therefore, in the hearts of students, the teacher should be regarded as a teacher for all eternity. The knowledge of the teacher may seem absurd, but in fact it is unfathomable. Such a great scholar can manage the army when mounted, and manage the people when dismounted. Sun Chen is lucky enough to be the lackey of his mentor, and he will have no regrets in this life. “

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

The lackey.

That’s how it is used.

Fang Jifan looked confused. I taught you knowledge well and valued you so much. Do you want me to behead you?

The palace fell into a deathly silence. “

Ahem…”

Suddenly, a dry cough broke the silence,

but Liu Jian suddenly sighed: “Hey, your Majesty, I am old and can no longer keep up. I am agile and eager to learn, and I am extremely intelligent. , which really makes the old ministers envious, naturally… Qi Guogong also devoted himself to teaching what he learned. His educational method was not only unique, but at the same time, it made the old ministers and others more ashamed. “I’m not as good as an old minister…”

This is the truth.

Although you…Liu Jian knows this, the Qingliu people may hear this, and they will definitely make fun of it again.

But Liu Jian has been in charge of state affairs for many years, why doesn’t he understand that at the moment? There are many ills.

Will anyone pay attention to these ills?

Or, some people will ignore it and continue to praise Haiyan Heqing.

Or, some people will despise him. What is the point
