Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"What is the people's army is that you have to put the people in your heart, really put it in your heart." Li Ke poked his heart with his hand.

"You all come from aristocratic families, or have been born from aristocratic families. Even those with the worst conditions may have fathers and grandfathers who are officials such as county magistrates."

"This makes you feel separated from ordinary people, but here today, I want to make demands on you!" Li Ke looked at them and said.

Everyone didn't speak, but looked at Li Ke solemnly.

"The prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain." Li Ke looked at them and said lightly, "Many people look down on ordinary people in their hearts, thinking that they are untouchables and cannot be compared with you. They should not be elevated to this status."

"It's normal to have this kind of thinking, because since you were born, your parents and everything around you have instilled this kind of concept in you. Now under the big environment of Datang, many of you will not express it. "

Li Ke's words paused here, and the following group of students were silent for a while. Some of them may not think so, but among this group of people, there are definitely people who think so.

"I don't ask you to change your prejudices right away! The so-called deeds don't care about your heart, and your heart is never perfect. My request to you is very simple. Even if you think that all the people in the world are pariahs, they are born to serve you." You don't matter, but! On the surface, you can't show it to me!"

"Pretend, you also have to pretend for me! Love the people like sons, love soldiers like sons! Carve the latest three disciplines and eight points of attention of the Tang army into your bones. This is my Tang Dynasty. King Qin, I have an order for you!" Li Ke said sharply.

"The military order is like a mountain, and this is the military order. Whoever dares to violate the military order, don't blame me, Li Ke, for being unkind! You can think whatever you want in your heart, but you are not allowed to show it to me on the surface!"

"Take it as your political wisdom, and take it as your political wisdom in order not to be missed by me, the King of Tang and Qin. After all, you have offended me. It is easy for you to be dismissed, and you may lose your head."

"do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone said loudly in unison. They didn't justify whether they were that kind of people. What His Highness needs is not their justification, but to tell them that this is an order and must be carried out!

"Very well, based on this principle, we can proceed to the next step."

"The fighting power of an army with faith is unparalleled. You have all learned the art of war, at least you have read the books on war, but there are many things that are not taught in the books on war. It is said that those who have gained the Tao will be helped more than those who have lost the way. .”

"If you are unpopular, if this country is unpopular, then no matter how powerful this army is, they will surrender! Even if the enemy does not accept their surrender, they must defeat the enemy and tell them, I want to surrender!"

"And if you win the hearts of the people and become a real people's army, when you are resisting foreign enemies, those people would even give you food when they are hungry. This is the biggest difference."

"I know, when I say this, you sometimes don't believe it, but believe me, you will feel it for yourself one day."

Speaking of this, Li Ke paused for a moment, and then continued: "We don't have classes today, we can talk about wherever we think of, and the class schedule you see is based on the new military needs of Datang. "

"In these subjects, to be honest, you have to learn a lot, not just limited to the previous ones. If you have read basic military books, understand battle formations and make changes on the spot, you will be able to lead the army in battle."

"A real war often begins before the war begins. Intelligence spying, the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy, the situation of the enemy and the army, etc. are very critical, not just finding a flaw in the enemy's formation on the battlefield, and then leading the army to charge. finally won the war.”

"When you've done what I said earlier, you'll find that the last step doesn't even need to be done."

"Take the subject of military topography as an example. What you have to learn is how to use astronomical phenomena to distinguish east, west, north, south, and how to distinguish north and south by the growth of leaves in forests and cloudy days."

"How to use the trend of mountains to judge where there will be water flow, how to use the direction of water flow to judge terrain, etc."

"Actually, among the military books you have studied, including Sun Tzu's Art of War, there are chapters on terrain. You have all been exposed to different terrains such as sky, wind, snow, water, land, and mountains, and methods of warfare in different climates."

"If these military books are to teach you why, then military topography is to teach you why."

"Everything in the world has its own laws. After you learn the knowledge of terrain formation, the use of terrain in warfare will make you understand it naturally."

"For example, the judgment of swampy terrain, the judgment of quicksand and other terrains, rescue, etc. are what you have to learn."

"As for foreign military research, it mainly refers to the study of other countries' militaries."

"Many people may think that there is nothing to study in this. Isn't the enemy's army type the same? But many things in it can be very useful if they are used well."

"For example, when the entire country of the opponent's country has a religious belief, and this religious belief can be said to be fanatical in their country, you can use methods such as blaspheming their gods to make the enemy's generals or soldiers Make irrational decisions."

"For example, there are some sects in Tianzhu that cannot kill cows, because cows are messengers of gods in their sects, so what will happen if you temporarily form a bull cavalry?"

"Although cows are not suitable for the battlefield in all aspects compared to war horses, they are miraculously effective against the soldiers of this sect. At least when their knives come over, their long-term beliefs will make them hesitate, whether they will cut this head ox."

"As for fighting on the battlefield, a moment of hesitation is the difference between life and death."

"There is no absolutely correct method of warfare in this world. There are only useful methods of warfare. Different tactics are formulated for different enemy soldiers and situations. This is the correct strategy. That's why this course is launched to study foreign troops. "

"Including their usual tactics and so on."

"And the learning of military and arms knowledge will allow you to be more proficient in coordinating the army. When you lose the command personnel who are proficient in the relevant army, you will not be ignorant. More importantly... With the continuous restructuring of Datang's ordnance, The Tang army will have more and more arms."

"And these arms are what you must understand and learn."

Li Ke gave them a general explanation of the military knowledge they were going to learn next.
