Straight man of steel

Chapter 369 A Great Opportunity to Cultivate the Roots

"Students, you must have heard the rumors outside.

The rumors out there aren't trying to target me like the rumors are, but they are.

From now on, the national policy of the big man has changed!
We and the Xiongnu have changed our offensive and defensive positions since yesterday! "

As soon as King Wuqiu Shou heard what Zhang Yuan said, he became excited.

He could clearly remember that Zhang Yuan said the words offensive and defensive Yixing first.

Indistinctly, Zhang Yuan's image was elevated a lot in my Qiu Shouwang's heart!
"But that's a military matter, so what does it have to do with us?"

Someone below expressed his inner doubts.

Zhang Yuan will definitely accept this kind of normal question rather than asking it for the sake of picking a thorn.

"Yes, today I summoned all the students to answer this question.

Some people say that war is the business of the soldiers, the general, and the majesty.

What does it have to do with us literati?
But have you ever calculated how many positions in the various armies of the Han Dynasty are held by literati.

It's not that I, Zhang Yuan, boast about myself, but I will use myself as an example today.

I was an official Ichiro in the early days, and then I was promoted by His Majesty, and the title of title has been promoted all the time.

Then I participated in the Battle of Mayi as Commander Shi of the Qimen Army.

To put it bluntly, it was my plan to attack the Dragon City of the Huns. The former general Wei Qing agreed with my plan and carried it out.

Now I am your Tai Xueling and your teacher.

Nearly half of the literati in the Han Dynasty hope to enter the Taixue!
What is the difference between literati and warriors? "

"Tai Xue Ling let us enlist in the army?"

"No no no!

Now you are not qualified to join the army! "

As soon as this sentence came out, many people were dissatisfied. After all, the students in their respective hometowns belonged to the kind of heaven's favored ones.

Because they can eat more abundant food from childhood to adulthood, at least they don't need to be hungry, and their physique is even stronger than the soldiers in the army.

Scholars have money, and if they have money, they can eat good food, and if they eat well, they will be strong, and a strong body will give them good conditions for practicing martial arts.

Literati and martial arts are the most respectable ethos!
Therefore, everyone was a little unconvinced when Zhang Yuan said that they were not qualified to join the army.

Among other things, the county soldiers from Du County would definitely not be able to fight these students one-on-one.

Many people in later generations have the impression that scholars are hollowed out by wine and sex in TV dramas, and literati can only hold pens.

There are even some literati in later generations who can stir up great leaders to join the army and fight, and they can live forever. In Zhang Yuan's eyes, there are such talents everywhere in the big man.

Perhaps their military talents may not be as good as others, but their martial arts are not weak at all.

"Tai Xue Ling, it's not that the students underestimate themselves, but once we go to the battlefield, it's still easy to pick and kill a few Xiongnu bandits!"

Zhang Yuan smiled and glanced at the students sitting around.

"No no no!

I didn't question your ability to kill the enemy.

The role you have to play in my heart is far greater than going into battle to kill the enemy!
I would like to ask you a word, what is virtue? "

Zhang Yuan does have high hopes for the students who want to study maps and various knowledge.

If Liu Che really promised that some students with outstanding abilities could serve as army commanders, then the starting point of this group of students would be unimaginable.

According to the previous rules and regulations of Taixue, it is up to their own fortune to be able to push the best students to the position of Lang Guan.

But now some people have the qualifications to directly serve as military commanders, which is equivalent to skipping several levels on the basis of Lang Guan.

The most important thing is that as soon as they get a position, they can hold military power in their hands.

If Gongsunhong knew Zhang Yuan's plan, he would probably be thinking about vomiting blood.

He secretly planned for several years, and none of the students under him has an official position higher than three hundred shi.

If Zhang Yuan can succeed, these students will be military officers of six hundred shi, or even a thousand shi when they leave Taixue.

In any dynasty, holding military power is more important than controlling the government.

The generals of the big Han have no way to control the military power in peacetime, and most of the generals will become civil servants after fighting the war.

For example, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan are like this.

There is also Li Guang, although everyone calls him General Li, but he is now a Weiwei.

But at this time, the military power is held in the hands of the military Sima and Chang Shi of each army.

In the future, the official position of Liubaishi may be the starting point for this group of students. If the battle is won, the time will come when meritorious deeds will be rewarded.

That situation can be interesting.

Although it was just in case, Zhang Yuan knew that he would win this battle.

Zhang Yuan is looking forward to the time when he goes to court again, among the more than 100 officials in the front hall of Jianzhang Palace, there will be [-] or [-] students of Taixue.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan had to give the students confidence that they would win, and even let the students regard Zhang Yuan as their teacher forever.

Teachers are just preaching and teaching karma to solve doubts.

"Reporting to the Taixue Order, virtue refers to a person's character and belief."

"Virtue should include loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, gentleness, kindness, respect and humility.

If you do the above, this person is a virtuous person. "

The students gave many answers, but they still couldn't escape the Confucian point of view.

Not even converting.

Based on this, these students are much worse than great Confucians like Dong Zhongshu, Gongsun Hong.

Those few people can easily refer to the Confucian classics or even a certain word in governing the country.

"The virtues you mentioned are personal opinions.

If you go to the battlefield in the future and become a general or a prefect of a place, how do you think you can be regarded as a virtuous person? "

Then the students around fell silent.

It's not that they don't have ideas in their hearts, but that their education has limited them.

They are neither generals nor prefects, how can they say these things, isn't it a joke to say it?
Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at King Wuqiu Shou.

"Tai Xuecheng, what do you think is virtue?"

King Wuqiu Shou bowed his head respectfully.

"The lower official doesn't know, so please ask the Taixue Ling to clear up the confusion for the lower official."

King Wuqiu Shou played the image of a seeker very well, Zhang Yuan nodded and said slowly.

"I was a general and I held many civilian positions.

But many people on the court didn't think very well of me.

Sometimes I always wonder if I really didn't do a good job, so everyone has opinions on me.

But what happened after Taixue recruited new students recently made me understand one thing.

It's not that I'm not good, but that I'm too good, making those who ridicule and slander me feel that they are too mediocre.

They have to treat me like this, otherwise, sooner or later, the darkness hidden under them will be swallowed up by the light!

They themselves are mediocre, so they can't bear the appearance of people who are better than them. Can a country tolerate these worms continuing to eat the foundation of the big man?
cannot! "
