After drinking tea for a while, Wang Xiaolie said to Liu Ziyu: "The appearance of an army must start from the little things in life. Let the soldiers become familiar with military life through the little things in life. Everyone will become accustomed to it.

, the army has strict discipline. Consultant, the discipline of the army is not achieved by severe punishment, let alone beheading. The training of officers and soldiers is a very troublesome matter. Only by not being afraid of trouble can the army be trained

good."

Liu Ziyu nodded silently. After thinking for a while, he said: "What exactly do officers learn in this military academy? Commanding the army is nothing more than Sun Wu's Art of War, Six Taoist Strategies, and the like. What is required is that students read silently and have someone explain it.

That’s it.”

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "What age has it been? These are not the main things taught in class anymore. In this military academy, there will be classes on Sun Wu's Art of War and Six Taoist Strategies, but they are no longer the main courses. Officers learn

Yes, it is military mobilization, military topography, strategy, tactics, military formation command, etc. Only after learning these courses can they graduate. They must really understand the army and be able to command the army.

Can you learn this military art?"

Liu Ziyu opened his mouth wide and said after a while: "I have never heard of these courses."

Wang Xiaolie said: "We also explored bit by bit, slowly summed up the knowledge that should be learned in the military academy, and opened these courses. As the courses mature, students learn more and more concretely in the military academy. Once they graduate,

They are qualified grassroots officers."

These contents are not included in military books. In the past, students had to rely on their own understanding and the words and deeds of the old generals. They needed someone to teach them and the students themselves had to work hard, and not one out of ten might be able to teach them. In military academies,

It is clearly divided into various courses, taught by professional teachers. Not only can you learn the daily management of the army, but you can also learn various military theories. Nine out of ten can be taught, which is suitable for junior officers.

.As for the more senior generals, these grassroots officers need to learn while fighting, and they are selected from among them.

These contents and this teaching method were something Liu Ziyu had never heard of before, and he couldn't help but be stunned. He originally thought that the so-called military academy was nothing more than selecting a group of outstanding soldiers and being taught by veteran generals. But he didn't expect that

Here’s how to learn.

Looking at the sky, Wang Xiaolian said: "It's still early, let's go and listen to how they teach, okay?"

Liu Ziyu nodded and followed Wang Xiaolie into a nearby classroom.

What we are talking about here is military history, and today we are mainly talking about the Five Dynasties period.

After briefly talking about the history of the Five Dynasties, the above teacher Kairu explained the military systems of various countries during the Five Dynasties. What were its characteristics, how the army was organized, how soldiers were mobilized, how they lived in the army, how they were promoted, and how they retired.

This era is not far away from the Five Dynasties. The information is comprehensive and the teacher explains it very vividly with some practical examples.

At the end, the teacher said: "Whenever we talk about ancient military history, we have to ask you a question from the first lesson. Why was it that during the Han Dynasty, one Han was regarded as the Five Hus, but in our Song Dynasty, the Five Hans were not necessarily one Hu? This

Let’s think carefully about the questions and hand in an assignment after class.”

After saying that, he nodded to Wang Xiaolie, who was sitting at the back, and ordered the get out of class to end.

After leaving the classroom, Wang Xiaolie said to Liu Ziyu: "Because we are new students, we are teaching simple courses now. The real basic military courses will not start until some time later. Consultation, this is how we teach here, and it is different from other places.

different."

Liu Ziyu nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment. This is a teaching method that has never been taught before, and the teaching content is also unprecedented.

Why has the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains army against the northern nomads declined since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties? There are of course many explanations. However, this overall change in strength must start from the social system, political system, economic system, and military system, and peel off the cocoons bit by bit.

, we can sort out the general outline.

For example, during the Five Dynasties period, the scale of war was significantly reduced compared with the Warring States Period, and the intensity of war was significantly increased. The social organization changed from large landowners and nobles to mainly small landowners. The ability to mobilize for war declined, and the intensity of war increased. Mercenaries

It became very popular. The entire society has undergone profound changes. Social changes have affected military changes. The organizational form of the army has changed, and the form of war has also changed.

The specific reasons require in-depth analysis from social, political, and economic aspects before we can get a rough answer.

As for the historical analysis of later generations, it is purely funny to say that it is because of the promotion of civility and suppression of military affairs. Such an answer is obviously inconsistent with historical materialism, let alone historical facts. At best, the promotion of civility and suppression of military affairs can only be said to be the result of military changes.

rather than the cause.

After the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, China's military tradition did not change until New China. Even if a dynasty is as vibrant as when the country was first founded, it will soon become decadent. Some people call the army an ancient army and a modern army.

The modern army still fails to grasp the core of it. The core is that China has passed from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties when the powerful aristocrats disappeared and entered the era of small landowners and farmers. However, the country did not carry out corresponding changes to adapt the army to the new dynasties.

People of this era, because of the rich historical data, can see it more clearly than people of later generations. Since the establishment of the military academy, this issue has been discussed for several years, and finally a convincing answer has been slowly obtained. This answer is king

The military reforms of Night Hunter provided support.

After listening to the students' discussion for a while, Liu Ziyu felt that what they said was unreasonable and that he had entered a completely different world. He had never thought about looking at society in this way or analyzing it in this way. He had never thought that he needed to have such a profound understanding of society.

understanding, and then reform the military system.

After leaving the classroom, Liu Ziyu looked at the sun in the sky and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After walking for a long time, Liu Ziyu said: "I entered the military academy today. It was really eye-opening! I didn't feel anything was wrong in the recruit camp. But when I got to the military academy, I realized how big the gap between Jieshuai's army and other armies is! Jieshuai's army is so different."

It’s right to say that with the soldiers in the new barracks, we need officers like this in the military academy. And only such officers can command the soldiers who come out of the new barracks! The two are one and cannot be separated!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "From the Tang to the Song Dynasty, society seemed to have changed little, but in fact it was very different! Facing the new society, we must make corresponding changes so that the army can adapt to the new era. We cannot be superior and say

It's because the generals are cowardly and the soldiers are afraid of death. If that's the case, what hope does this army have? What hope does this country have? We must seek truth from facts, make brave and bold changes, and find a way out!"

Liu Ziyu nodded. Yes, if you can't win on the battlefield, there must be one reason or another. As a commander-in-chief, you have to find out the reasons and carry out corresponding reforms. The more decadent the army is in reality, the more drastic reforms are needed.

.

Under Wang Xiaolie's rule, not only was the army different from other armies, but everything from society to politics to economy was different. These differences were intertwined and intertwined to bring about a complete society.

A different look.

From the time he arrived in Xiangyang, Wang Xiaolie carried out reforms and was always cautious. He was afraid of making mistakes or inappropriate things, so he tried step by step. It was not until he defeated the Jin army in Shaanzhou that he finally confirmed that what he did was correct.

This kind of correctness not only made the economy more prosperous and the people's lives improved, but also brought great military progress. My own military progress confirmed that I could defeat the Jin Army and usher in a new era.

Only after arriving in Luoyang did Wang Xiaolie become truly confident that he would completely change this era.
