Chapter 86 Talking about military affairs

In September of the 17th year of Hongzhi, Wang Shouren became the head of the Military Election Department - a six-grade sesame official, which is really not the same as Yang Tinghe, the "child prodigy" who was elected at the age of 12 and the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, but don't worry, take your time!

As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of War to register, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, recruited him to discuss military affairs - this Shangshu is the one who recommended Yang Yiqing to go to Shaanxi to raise horses. It was because of the tireless efforts of Liu Daxia, the defense minister, that the dangerous defense of the Ming Dynasty became solid. This Shangshu not only knows national defense, but also can find candidates. Therefore, when Wang Shouren is called to "talk", his colleagues are all overwhelmed by envy - a Shangshu talks to the chief, that is, the minister talks to the section chief, even if he will not be promoted immediately, and the effect is immeasurable!

Wang Shouren also sweated for himself. He was not afraid to stand in front of the emperor and hold his head high and argue, but he was afraid of being dwarfed in front of this actual combatman - he finally sneaked into the military department. If he was a little careless and said something wrong, he was transferred back to a department like the ceremonial department of the Ministry of Industry, and then he had to start from scratch.

To Wang Shouren's expectation, Liu Daxia was gentle and dignified. He asked, "I heard that you once criticized the seven books of martial arts classics, and you are quite strategic about the war?"

Wang Shouren said, "These are all other people's fallacies! It's just because of interest!"

Liu Daxia sighed: "My dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and Wenchen used the military system. How could it be caused by interest?"

Wang Shouren had a cold war and gave a harsh reply!

Liu Daxia said, "What do you think is the purpose of the war?"

Wang Shouren said, "I believe that the purpose of the war is to protect the people! Sun Tzu said: 'Those who subdue soldiers without fighting are also good people', which are intended to show that killing people with soldiers is not the purpose, so it is better to use soldiers carefully, and it is better to win without fighting, that is, 'good strategy'!"

Liu Daxia said, "So what do you think of the ' suppression' and 'stroking' of bandits?"

Wang Shouren said, "The humble position relies on 'stroy'! If you can touch it, you can touch it. If you can't touch it, suppress it!"

Liu Daxia said, "Then why do so many people want to suppress bandits?"

Wang Shouren said: "Shouren thinks that the reason why the person in question advocates the suppression of bandits is nothing more than avoiding the 'four destruction' out of 'two blessings'. The so-called two blessings is that soldiers want to upgrade at the first level, and the generals have to report their military achievements. The 'four destructions' can not be destroyed, but they have already hired troops; waste financial resources, and the gains are not worth the losses; gather tens of thousands of people without one The battle, retreat and avoid habit; violate the scholar and doctor's military use, and the shape is suspiciously destroyed!"

Liu Daxia praised: "Your summary is quite comprehensive! They are thinking about their personal interests, not to security the people, but for a moment's self-interest, regardless of the future harm! What other opinions do you have? Keep talking!"

Wang Shouren said, "Shouren thought that soldiers should put food and salaries first. Sun Ziyun: Sun Tzu said: Wherever you use the method of military, you can drive a thousand cars, take a thousand leather cars, take 100,000 armor, and feed thousands of miles of food. Then the internal and external expenses, the use of guests, the materials of glue paint, the offering of car armor, the daily fee of thousands of money, and then 100,000 teachers. Without enough food and grass, it is not enough to fight with troops - it is far from enough to see this, so we need to find a way to solve the problem of grain and salary. There are three strategies: one is to dredge the salt method, which can regard the collection of salt tax as an important way to raise military salaries; the other is to promote Tuntian, which was solved by ancient Chinese military personnel to solve grain and salaries. Traditional measures. In order to solve the problem of grain and salary of the army, successive dynasties after the Han Dynasty actively promoted the storage of fields; the third is the provincial fee of Jianshi - the military is not expensive. These three Shouren are listed in Chen Yanbian Wushu, but unfortunately, the emperor only read one word: Shangjia Nazhi!"

Liu Daxia nodded and said, "Let me listen to Chen Yanbian Wushu!"

Wang Shouren said yes, and Lang Lang said, "What is Tuntian to feed?" The soldiers are the main food, and there is no food, and there are no soldiers. The border pass turned into a loss, thousands of miles of water and land, and suddenly abandoned, ten to one. Therefore, the military method said: "If the country is poor, the teacher loses far away, and if he loses far away, the people will be poor; if the teacher is sold, if he sells expensively, the people will be exhausted." This is also called. Today's officers are not only unbearable to fight, but also make them sit and eat to benefit the border difficulties. They are also plotting with the enemy. The garrison on the three sides is defended by war and has no time to farm. Sincerely let the Beijing army divide its land, give it a variety of tools, and wait for it to be completed in autumn, so that each of them can eat its own strength. Kou Zhi gave Jia to return to Tun, and took the momentum from afar to fight against each other. The Kou went away and still resumed his career. Because of his spare time, he finished the demolition of the side walls and pavilions to the castles to curb the conflict. In this way, although you can't give all the food, you can also lose less. This is a long-lasting way, and Wang Shi is out of his long-term strategy.

What does it mean to save money? I heard the art of war and said, "A thousand dollars a day, and then 100,000 soldiers." In ancient times, those who were good at using soldiers were used for the country. Because of the food to the enemy, they still "spend a lot of money a day". Today, China is used to control the barbarians. If it is not a raft, there will be no grain, and if it is not a loss, there is no money. Therefore, it can not be said that "for food to the enemy". But can today's teacher be light? On the first day of his return, he heard of the teacher from afar and thought that it was not necessary. What? The north is cold, and the heat is getting hotter and hotter, and the man is impatient. At that time, one is also; the man is bowing and arrow, today when it rains, the glue is loosening, and the other is also; the man chases water and grass to live, and shoots animals for food. Now it has been two months, and the grass has been exhausted, and there is no hunting in the wild. According to the minister's expectation, the officers and soldiers arrived and the soldiers were trapped. The husband and soldiers are inherent in the first voice and then the reality. Today, the division has done nothing to say, but the simple teacher can still save wasted money and get practical. The soldiers are not expensive. Now the generals are quickly edicted, and one-third of the elites are used within 10,000 people, and the rest are returned to the capital. The voice of tens of thousands of people has been raised, and now they have secretly returned to the capital. The border gates are firmly unknown, and the power of tens of thousands of people is still there; in fact, it can save endless costs. Isn't it convenient for both? Moreover, when the officers and soldiers come out, the battle will retreat, and the achievements will be the first, which is not the pleasure of the border generals. If he invites troops and doesn't do well, he will be responsible for it. Today, I am sincere to the pawn of the frontier fortress, raised by those who raise the Beijing army, and appreciate it by those who reward the Beijing army. In ten days, tens of thousands of people can be raised under the account, and Xi will come out of Beijing? •

Throughout his life, Liu Daxia carefully experienced Wang Shouren's alienation and couldn't help admiring: "It's really the quality of talent! For generals, you must have noble ambition, integrity, intelligence and military strategy, and you have all of these. In time, you must be a general of the Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Shouren was so hot-blooded by Shangshu Liu Daxia. He rubbed his hands and was ready to do some work. Unexpectedly, although Liu Daxia had seen people and appreciated his military talents more than the emperor, he only said one sentence lightly - you go back!

Wang Shouren, with a worried mood, looked forward to Lord Shangshu, who could give him a chance to practice military strategy, but day by, he never looked for Wang Shouren again!
