The banquet ended and everyone dispersed. Wang Xiaoli sat alone in the study room, staring out the window in a daze.

There is no moon in the sky, and the stars all over the sky cannot shine on the world. In the mottled light and shadow, there are insects singing and moths flying, and various stories are staged.

Outside of human eyes, this world is actually very lively, with countless joys and sorrows.

After sitting for a while, Wang Xiaoliu came to his senses and sighed heavily.

In one or two years, I wanted my subordinates to change their minds, work style, and make the entire army look different. How could it be? But without Wang Xiaoli, there is no time. If the army cannot be roughly established in the past or two years, I will face war.

It is either impossible to transform the army in war or it is even more difficult.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoliu couldn't help feeling upset. He stood up and walked out the door, blew the cool breeze of the evening.

How to transform the army? There should be many methods, and the key is to the leader's positioning of the army. It is naive to think that the army has nothing to do with politics, and the army has its own logic of acting. The army itself is a part of politics, so how can it be separated from politics?

Wang Xiaoli's political thought was to pull the destiny from heaven and make it represent the will of the people. Under this principle, it also determines the status of the army. The army mainly fights foreign countries and generally does not participate in internal affairs. Because the army comes from the people, defends the people, and is inseparable from the people, it determines that the position of soldiers in the army is different from before.

The main thing to establish positions such as commander is to refer to the political commissar of later generations. However, these positions do not equal political commissar, but also refer to the positions of military supervisors and horse-bearing that have existed in history. Their work is also very different from those of political commissar, mainly responsible for internal management. It is necessary to ensure the order of the army, and at the same time ensure the status of soldiers and not be oppressed by officers. In front of military commanders, defend soldiers. In front of soldiers, discipline in the army must be guaranteed. This official position naturally has two faces.

Why do they have two faces? Because they are internal managers of the army, they have to face both commanders and soldiers. The position is naturally required. If they cannot clearly understand the characteristics of the position, they cannot do this job well.

Now it seems that Yuan Gai did not do well enough in the position of commanding the Central Army. As a person who has passed by the old era, it is difficult for Yuan Gai and others to understand the characteristics of this position and cannot put their position correctly.

Standing in the cool breeze blowing towards him, Wang Xiaoli sighed helplessly. Although he knew that the current situation was actually normal, he was still a little unwilling to accept it. In the past one or two years, there will be no major war. It is a bit regrettable that he cannot seize this rare gap and train the army to what he wants. Although in the next war, the troops can improve in the war, that is another matter after all.

The next day, in the county government office, Wang Xiaoli, Wang Ruohai and the staff of the Central Army Headquarters gathered together. Xu Changxing introduced the situation of Li Zhong's troops in front, Yuan Gai introduced the work in the army, and Zhang Yin introduced the preparations in the army.

After the introduction, Wang Ruohai stood up and said, "Wang Yan of Jinzhou asked for help. The general Jie decided to use the central army to save Junzhou from the right army and the rear army. This time, he must do his best to make careful plans, kill chickens and use a ox knife to annihilate Li Zhong's troops in one battle! With the left Yuhou Lin Wei as the vanguard, he led the front army, and one cavalry in the left army set out two days later. After arriving in Junzhou, he set up camp ten miles away from the city and wait for the arrival of the army. During this period, all the reconnaissance cavalry of Li Zhong's troops outside the city of Junzhou should be cleared out, so that Li Zhong's entire army would not dare to leave the city. However, before the army arrived, do not fight head-on with Li Zhong."

Lin Wei stood up and sang the promise with his hands crossed.

This is the characteristic of Wang Xiaoli's war. He used the vanguard to fight for control of the battlefield and turned the enemy into a blind man. The front and left armies are elite troops in the army, and with a cavalry, the strength is enough.

Wang Ruohai said: "The Engineering Corps is temporarily under the command of Lin Wei, and set out with the vanguard. Renovate the roads and build bridges to ensure the smooth flow of the subsequent large troops. Now we have artillery, and the requirements of the roads are different from before. After a few months of drilling, you should all be clear. This is the first long-distance march, and you must be extra careful! Not only should the matter be done well, but your work logs must be recorded clearly. The problems encountered on the road are the focus of subsequent improvements. Don't miss them."

Lin Wei crossed his hands and said yes.

Wang Ruohai said: "Li Dumai governs the affairs of the envoy, and his ranks will return to the command of Jimai, and the army will be commanded by Zhang Yin. You will set out before Jimai and stationed in Tutai. After Jimai arrives, you will arrange the next action."

Li Yanxian and Zhang Yin said it was together.

Wang Xiaoli said: "This is the first war after the army's real training. You must be energetic and not be careless. We must not only win this battle, but also win beautifully. The central army suffered for several months and needed the results to boost the morale of the soldiers. Another thing is that although Li Zhong had only thousands of soldiers, he still engulfed tens of thousands of people. We must resettle these people. We cannot destroy Li Zhong, and ignore these things. Yuan Gai must draw up a resettlement plan in advance and prepare enough money and food. When the war is over, take them back to our rule."

Yuan Gai bowed and said yes.

Wang Xiaoli said: "For the country, it is basically the people. Why do we join the army? We protect our country and the people are the people. Even in war, we cannot ignore the people. We cannot just focus on killing the enemy and making meritorious service, and ignore the people. Li Zhong and other forces are accustomed to swaying the people. Occupying a wealthy place and forcing the people to join the army, it will expand to hundreds of thousands of people at once. Once the war is unfavorable, the subordinates will scatter birds and beasts. Where they pass by, they not only rob money and grain, but also suffer large-scale losses to the people. This is wrong, we cannot do such a thing."

Yuan Gai said it was.

Wang Xiaoli said again: "In this rescue of Junzhou, in addition to fighting, the commander organized the officers to discuss it. As an officer, they hold huge power. The first thing they have to do is to answer is, where does the power come from? For officers, is it you who belong to power or power belongs to you? If you belong to power, then be cautious and do what power requires. Power belongs to you, then you will be lawless and act recklessly! The answer is actually very simple, but the content to be discussed is not simple. Everyone must understand what power is and how it comes from. Only by understanding these can you understand how to use the power in your hands."

After hearing this, Yuan Gai couldn't help but open his mouth wide. After a while, he said, "The coach of the Jiejie, the subordinates don't understand it--"

"It's not that there's nothing to do, go back and think it through." Wang Xiaoli waved his hand. "You have to be clear about one thing. Our army is different from other army and is different from any army in history. It can be said that it is unprecedented. Many things cannot be relied on experience or by looking at what the ancients said. The most important thing is that our knowledge must be derived from practice. Use theory to guide practice and use practice to correct theory. This process will never stop."

Is there a truth that never changes and is always correct in the world? Wang Xiaoli believes that it is not. The existence of the world does not exist and does not matter, and for humans, there is no. Because humans understand the almost infinite world with limited abilities, any theories summarized have limitations. These limited theories cannot correctly guide practice, but can only be roughly correct. It is in practice that we recognize the shortcomings of the theory and make necessary corrections. Therefore, before practice, the correct theory does not exist. The theory has been corrected and the practice has ended.

Only by understanding the relationship between theory and practice can we learn and work correctly. For the world, human knowledge can only open one door. After entering this door, knowledge must be constantly corrected. Not only is humanistic knowledge, but also scientific knowledge.

One characteristic of European civilization is the pursuit of truth, especially the pursuit of absolute truth. Some people say that this is the reason why their culture is ahead of the world, and many people even subconsciously think that this should be done. In fact, it is not, Chinese culture’s understanding of Tao is not like this.

When pursuing absolute truth, no matter who it is, no matter what theory it is, follow their theories and reach the end of time, you will find that God is standing there. This is the imprint of European civilization, and their civilization is difficult to avoid.

Whether it is politics or economy, whether it is material or spiritual, does human beings have only one way? If you don’t go like this, you will be wrong. If you go like this, you will be right and advanced? It is definitely not.
