Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

"Although I know that drills are very different from actual combat, after all, it is much better than throwing it on the battlefield without knowing anything!"

After listening to what Zhang Nuo said, Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and then asked a question that was impossible in Zhang Nuo!

"Uh, brother, what is this picture? Don't these recruits have to go to the battlefield to see blood? The exercise is just an act, and it's not a real fight with real swords and guns. Is it useful?"

"We have trained in advance, and when the time comes, we will throw it on the battlefield. After a few battles, they will know the depth!"

Zhang Nuo really didn't expect Li Shimin to ask such a question, but when he looked back, he realized that Li Shimin's ideas were still stuck in the past.

In the eyes of Li Shimin and those veterans, although they often talk about loving soldiers like sons and being one with officers and soldiers, in fact, even the most sensible generals are nothing more than treating the soldiers well and paying close attention to training.

On the battlefield, it is already very good to save the lives of the soldiers as much as possible, and not to issue some orders to send them to death.

But in the eyes of these commanders, the soldiers are still just a number. As long as there are young and strong people, they can recruit a new batch and make up for it after a period of training.

But Li Shimin didn't realize that the navy and air force trained by Zhang Nuo now, or in other words, the navy and air force that is still training, are no longer the kind of arms that can be used on the battlefield by just pulling a young man to train for a period of time.

Rather than saying that the navy and air force are ordinary troops, it is better to say that these people are all technical arms or officers.

Because these people must read and write at the most basic level, and at the same time must master certain professional skills.

Maybe some of these skills are useless in the outside world, but they are actually an indispensable part in the army.

This is also why Zhang Nuo implemented a professional military training program, because there is no such thing as three to five years, and he really can't finish learning those things.

Therefore, how could Zhang Nuo be willing to let the soldiers who had been trained so hard and spent a lot of energy be cannon fodder just for the sake of blood.

When Zhang Nuo mentioned his scruples, Li Shimin was a little confused, is that so?It's just Qiu Ba in a group of troops, when did he become so arrogant?

Zhang Nuo didn't say anything else, just a case,

"Old Cheng's youngest son, after graduating from the Naval Academy, will be the first mate on a battleship, that is, the deputy captain. As long as the new ship is in place, he will become the captain!"

"He is a serious general, and the Chamber of Commerce secretly poached him. He wants to be the captain of the merchant ship of the Chamber of Commerce. Do you know how much the salary is offered?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, it's higher than what his father got in the court! Why, because these are really capable people! Such a person, regardless of his family's background, you are willing to use it as a pawn!" cannon fodder?"

"And not only the captain, but even ordinary sailors are a bunch of people trying to find ways to carry money forward and want to poach people. If it weren't for my brothers, the navy is at least half empty right now. You still want to let them be cannon fodder?"

Chapter 761 The Value of the New Type of Soldiers

In fact, to be more serious, Li Shimin is really not the kind of person who carelessly ignores the lives of soldiers and does not take the lives of sergeants seriously. After all, he is also a successful commander.

Aside from those dramas about eating and living together, at the root, Li Shimin is at least the kind who hopes that he has many soldiers and generals, and will not treat his sergeants as wrong people.

But if you want to say how much he valued the sergeant, well, so be it.

That's right, this is Li Shimin's true attitude towards the sergeant!

And Zhang Nuo wanted to reverse Li Shimin's current view, and even said that Zhang Nuo hoped to change the views of these courtiers on human life.

In fact, Zhang Nuo felt this very early on, but he never had the opportunity to mention this before, but now it is a good opportunity.

Yes, not just the lives of sergeants, but all human lives.

These days, although everyone knows the benefits of population, in the eyes of the emperor Li Shimin and officials, the biggest benefit of population is that it can bring tax revenue.

Then at the same time, it will bring about the improvement of national power. After all, both conscription and corvee are based on population.

However, if you want to say that they value human life more, that is nonsense. It is not uncommon for tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people to starve to death in a famine.

Even last year's drought and locust plague had not been intervened in advance by Zhang Nuo, and those disaster areas alone would have been empty. This is no joke.

But Zhang Nuo is the clearest. As a planet that can carry 60 billion people in later generations, it is too empty at this time. Datang is currently the largest population gathering area on the entire planet, so it should use its population advantage , The demographic dividend is maximized.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo wanted everyone, including Li Shimin, to understand that human life is more important than other things.

"Your Majesty, and ministers, I have something to say here, and I want to take this opportunity to tell you all!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Zhang Nuo's address. They all knew that between this Lord, His Majesty and the courtiers, there was never anything else but personal friendship.

For His Majesty, he has always been called Lao Li Lao Li, and even this title has not changed since His Majesty met His Highness the King of Qin, and His Majesty is also very happy, even like Changsun Wuji and others know that His Majesty and King Qin When His Highness speaks, whenever there are not many people around, he always calls himself "I" instead of me!

Although in formal occasions, it seems normal for the two of them to talk about each other, but it is not a public place now.

His Royal Highness King Qin, who likes this posture the most, has only one explanation for calling him this way, and that is that what His Royal Highness King Qin wants to say is very formal, so he is called this way.

The people sitting in this palace today, whether they are civil servants or military generals, may have different personalities and experiences, but if there is one thing to say, no one is stupid. I can figure it out.

Therefore, everyone in the palace at this time, including Li Shimin, looked at Zhang Nuo obediently, waiting to hear his speech.

Zhang Nuo was also polite, seeing that everyone's attention was diverted, he said directly,

"Everyone, I just discussed one thing with His Majesty, that is, we have never landed on the island before departure, in order to ensure the victory of the war and reduce casualties!"

"My lord suggests launching a joint exercise of the three armed forces. On the one hand, the function of this exercise is to discuss the techniques of the three armed forces in joint operations. After all, there was no navy and air force in the Tang Dynasty in the past. Now there is one, but how to use it together? How to cooperate with each other needs to be explored!"

"Your Majesty just said a point of view, that is, let these people see the blood on the battlefield and understand after a few fights. This king believes that everyone thinks so, but I don't agree with it!"

"Today, here and now, I have to have a good chat with you, whether this human life is worth anything!"

"The first thing I want to say is that in today's navy and air force, many of you present have children from their families serving in it. It must be relatively clear, but there are also some who don't know it in detail. Here, I will introduce it to you. !"

"Whether it's the navy or the air force, there are two major differences between them and the traditional sergeants. One is the professionalization of all staff. This point must be clear to everyone, which means that this group of people can only serve in the military for the rest of their lives. Wooli's messing around!"

"It seems that our burden is heavy, but even civil servants know that one veteran is more effective than three or four recruits, and this is only the first difference."

"The second difference is that those who come from these two units are all literate, and not only literate and arithmetic, but also have to master some special professional skills!"
