Leaving the military city of Wudu, Du Zhongxiao rode forward, looking at the tall Yin Mountain in the distance, like a giant dragon. When the young man was ignorant, he also wanted to ride the world, he also wanted to cut the yellow sand, and he also wanted to travel alone. Today, when he is the commander of one side, commanding tens of thousands of troops, and commanding the Quartet, he realizes that the dream of a teenager is a dream after all, and it will not happen in reality.

When the war broke out, he was neither a commander nor a commander, but a variety of calculations and military orders in the commander's tent. Strategizing, maybe that's what it means, isn't it just fundraising? If there is no calculation in war, there is no strategy.

The victory was beautiful, but the battle was not very interesting, it was just a little exciting at that time.

Dacheng, who came with the capital, took a turn in the military academy, and after listening to their words, Du Zhongxiao roughly understood how Zhang Qi won. Whether it is in a military academy or in the army, everyone tries their best to understand a scientific military system and improve this system. Training in peacetime and command in wartime should conform to the laws of war as much as possible. Although there are different levels of understanding of the laws of war and different levels of mastery and use, everyone tries to do so. The establishment, organization, structure, and composition of the armed forces, as well as the various regulations in peacetime and military orders in wartime, are not something that anyone can come up with out of thin air. Rather, it is based on the summed up laws of war.

On the contrary, the forbidden army in the capital had no such understanding at all, and only mechanically copied the formation, structure, and teaching materials of the army on the Hequ Road, and had no understanding of the laws of war, nor did they have the consciousness of summing up and mastering the laws of war. In this case, the two sides are fundamentally different armies, how can they be compared? Zhang Qi's resounding victory is not unusual at all. I am afraid that during the exercise, the commanders at all levels of the opposing side do not know how to command at all. According to the familiar command method of the forbidden army, it was not completely annihilated by Zhang Qi with the same force.

Even if all the weapons are given to you, the preparation is made for you to copy, and even the teaching materials are given to you with instructors, and you teach them by hand, in such a situation, it is impossible to teach. Similarly, the formation and training of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in history was repeated again and again. With foreign guns and artillery, inviting foreign instructors, translating foreign teaching materials, the trained army is still the old army with new weapons.

The weapons of the old army were refurbished in a variety of ways, and they looked mighty and majestic, and when they met a decent army, they were beaten to pieces. From the most fundamental point of view of military thinking, military affairs have not been regarded as a science. Those who command the army are not thinking about scientific training, scientific management, and scientific equipment and systems, but only about installing cronies, controlling power, and turning the army into a private army. In combat, of course, it is not possible to conduct scientific command in accordance with the general laws of war. Judging from the appearance, such an army uses advanced weapons and has the same establishment and system as the advanced army, but in fact, the picture is on its surface, and the real core does not have the temperament of a new-style army at all.

Du Zhongxiao now understands that the knowledge of ancient military analysis learned in history class is completely unreliable. The compilers of history textbooks knew nothing about military principles and theories, and the means and methods of analysis were completely inherited from the ancient literati, plus they copied sentences from the books of foreigners. Even some historical conclusions were originally set by the old literati and then regarded as a guideline by later generations.

Five generations later, in fact, after the Middle Tang Dynasty, the army of the Central Plains Dynasty lost its military superiority over the surrounding ethnic groups, especially the nomadic and fishing and hunting peoples in the north. The understanding inherited from the ancients, coupled with the play of later generations, is said to be because from the Song Dynasty onwards, "Chongwen suppresses martial arts", or to put it milder, "heavy literature and light martial arts". Such a cultural tradition has led to the low status of soldiers, and if the status of soldiers is low, of course, their combat effectiveness will be low, and if their combat effectiveness is low, they will certainly not be able to defeat others. This is a typical manifestation of the literati's discourse instead of scientific research, whether it is narration or argumentation, it can only be reduced to a simple pile of data, constantly talking about the wheel, without a clear logical relationship.

Can't beat others, of course, look for the reason for the army. From the perspective of military principles, theories, systems, establishments, and military thinking, scientific methods are used to explain them. The most obvious manifestation of persistence is that when the nation is in danger and the Chinese army is in heavy flames, it has a clear understanding. When the Kuomintang army was crushed by the People's Liberation Army, some people still considered it a crime of non-war, and the combat effectiveness of that army was very strong.

That war was the victory of the new science over the old military system, and the two sides were not at the same level at all. It is the military theories and systems of the new era that have completely crushed the old army with new weapons, no matter how glamorous this old army may look on the outside.

Judging from the appearance, the Kuomintang army is more well-equipped, most of the generals have come out of the military academy, and many have entered the foreign military academy, and some people think that this army is more elected. In fact, as long as we conduct a scientific analysis from military theory, we know that the situation is completely opposite.

After discussing with the ministers and generals from the capital, Wang Gongchen, an outsider, didn't care, and the rest let Du Zhongxiao understand how Zhang Qi won a big victory. A deeper understanding is to understand the analysis of some military issues in history in the previous life, which are right and which are wrong.

If the military academy in the capital does not change, Du Zhongxiao is confident, the people of Hequ Road are allowed to use it, and all the teaching materials are shown to them, and the forbidden army trained in the capital will still not work. The next time I exercised martial arts, I was still vulnerable.

When science really appeared in the process of civilization, in all fields, the old system was crushed. Not just industry, agriculture, commerce, etc., but in all aspects, including, of course, war. The changes that science has brought to warfare are not only guns, vehicles, tanks, airplanes, and other weapons, but also scientific organization, training, structure, and logistics, as well as war command.

The characteristic of science is that it acknowledges the existence of objective laws and that all knowledge and behavior are subordinated to objective laws. The advantage of the Hequlu army over all other armies is not their guns, but their use of scientific objective laws as weapons.

Zhang Qi followed behind Du Zhongxiao, walked for a long time, and said, "Jieshuai, is it that my capital won and brought trouble to Hequ Road?" ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "A soldier wants to win, if he doesn't seek victory, what kind of soldier is he!" This matter has nothing to do with you, if you don't bring it out this time, there will be something wrong later. It's nothing more than a sentence, the army on Hequ Road is too capable of fighting, and the forbidden army in the capital is too useless! ”

Zhang Qi said: "When the last general arrived in the capital, he saw that the military academy in the capital was strictly disciplined, and it was better than us here. The people they chosen, alas, do not hide from the marshal, and we can only drool here. Even if it's just a soldier, it's tall and magnificent. There are also many students who are themselves low-ranking lifters and full of articles. By the way, there are also martial artists this year, and all of them have been incorporated into the military academy. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "If you have talents, you must teach and use them well." Now it seems that the Beijing Military Academy does not have this ability. ”

Zhang Qi said: "Although I said that, the last general felt that the Beijing Military Academy was really good in all aspects. As a result, the trained soldiers were not as good as the soldiers led by the last general, and everyone wondered. The last general was ignorant, and he couldn't say why, but he only felt that once the army there was formed, it would be different from us. ”

Du Zhongxiao was silent for a while. Soon after Zhang Qi joined the Hequ Road Army, his theoretical knowledge was far from enough, and he relied more on his ears and eyes, as well as Yang Wenguang's strong supplementary lessons at the last moment. Of course, his soldiers and generals are all from the river meander, and they are easy to use.

Sighing, Du Zhongxiao said: "This matter will not pass easily, and it will depend on how the ministers hand over the chapter to the capital." These days you restrain the army, and no one is allowed to disturb them. Even if you are familiar with it before, you should not meet it. ”

Zhang Qi promised. It's not that Du Zhongxiao wants to isolate them, but to avoid contact as much as possible, so as not to affect these people's opinions. When they returned to Beijing with a concert, they would decide to come to the imperial court to deal with it, which would inevitably involve Du Zhongxiao.
