Chapter 31 Strategic Depth
"sit!"

In the imperial study room, Li Shimin took the lead to review the memorial, and said a word lightly without raising his head.Qin Feng will take office in two days. As a person who supports Qin Feng, he must understand Qin Feng's thoughts, right?

Half an hour later, Li Shimin finally finished reviewing a bunch of memorials. During this period, he also paid attention to Qin Feng from time to time. Seeing him sitting firmly like a mountain, calm and composed, not anxious or restless, Li Shimin nodded secretly.

It was intentional to neglect Qin Feng, and it was also Li Shimin's test of Qin Feng.

Li Shimin placed high hopes on Qin Feng, hoping that he would become a commander like Li Jing and Li Ji, instead of a fierce general like Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong.Great generals, Datang has never been lacking.

An excellent commander must have a heart that does not change when the mountain collapses before him. If Qin Feng is restless, Li Shimin will really be disappointed.

Li Shimin asked suddenly: "What do you think is the biggest advantage of my Tang Dynasty?"

Qin Feng said: "The advantage of the Tang Dynasty lies in its vast land, large population, and countless money and food."

This is something everyone knows, nothing new.

Li Shimin was noncommittal.

"This is the reason why my Tang Dynasty did not fail, but it is not the key to victory." Without waiting for Li Shimin to ask questions, he continued: "Let's prepare for the worst first."

"'Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: If a husband wins without a battle, he must count more; if he does not fight, he must count as less. More wins, less wins, and how far away is it?' You have not Is it too pessimistic to think about winning?" Li Shimin frowned.

"The sages told us that there is no harm in calculating too much and thinking too much. If we only focus on the present and don't consider the future, if the battle is unfavorable, wouldn't we panic?" Qin Feng retorted.

Li Shimin said: "Okay! Then tell me your opinion."

"It's the worst possible scenario."

Qin Feng smiled and said: "It is also a result that will never happen. The reason why I say this is to analyze the benefits of a vast land, a large population, and mountains of money and food."

"The vast land, large population, and mountains of money and food show that our successor to the Tang Dynasty is strong."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and said: "I seem to understand what you mean a little bit. You continue."

"If the situation of the war fails, I think that I, Datang, will win in the end." This is an argument, and it is also the result proved by the War of Resistance Against Japan, and it is also an undeniable result, which must be persisted.

"Under that situation, there will be three stages. In the first stage, the enemy advances and we retreat; this stage may last for a year or two. We fight and retreat, use the vast land, trade space for time, and reserve Material, prepare for the future counter-offensive. The second stage is that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks reach a strategic balance on the battlefield. That is to say, the Turks at this stage need to disappear and occupy our land, and we also need to rest and recuperate. , in order to achieve the purpose of training troops and stockpiling food and grass. Once the Turks cannot win a complete victory on the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty, then there will be many contradictions among them. Because the Turks are not a tribe, and the army is not controlled by Xieli alone. , once the loot is not evenly distributed, the rebellious Turkic people themselves will fight. Turkic people are always greedy. At this time, we can use lures and other means to split their interior, so that they can't work together. In the end, Turkic people will fall into endless chaos In the midst of civil turmoil..."

Li Shimin stood up abruptly, with a deep shock in his eyes. Qin Feng's overall view completely exceeded his age limit. At this age, he absolutely did not have such vision and foresight.

Since the Weishui alliance, Li Shimin, who has worked hard to become stronger, has been preparing and saving for future wars.He is full of confidence, feeling that the war must end with the victory of Datang, and the source of his confidence is Datang's vast strategic depth, as well as its huge population base and mountains of food and grass.

Qin Feng's words coincided with this great strategist.However, in terms of language organization ability, Qin Feng is more easy to understand.

In an instant, Li Shimin's heart was pounding as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged. He found that he had reason and was able to persuade those old stubborn people in the court.

"The third stage is the strategic counter-offensive. Any invader is unpopular. History has long proved that foreigners are good at looting but not good at governing the country. The opposite of the common people of the Great Tang Dynasty. At that time, their opponents will not only be the army of the Great Tang Dynasty, but also thousands of civilians everywhere. Think about it, hunters will set traps, knight-errants will assassinate, Assassination... At that time, the Turkic people had internal and external troubles, and it was time for us to counterattack, regain lost ground, and defeat the Turkic people." Qin Feng simply said the following predictions, and it was not good to say too much.

Li Shimin couldn't digest Qin Feng's words for a while. The amount of information is a bit large, and some places need to be carefully considered, but overall, what Qin Feng said is very reasonable.At the same time, the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition became more determined.

While Li Shimin was shocked and heartbroken, his eyes gleamed at Qin Feng, like a wolf suddenly seeing delicious prey.

Li Shimin's eyes made Qin Feng feel a little nervous.

"Where's the army! Is there anything wrong with it in your eyes?"

The Fubing system is the essence of the army of the early Tang Dynasty. After Li Shimin and others vigorously revised it, it has become the most complete military system in history, and it is also the source of Li Shimin's pride.

"Fu Bing is the root of our military base in the Tang Dynasty. It is characterized by the integration of soldiers and farmers. Fu Bing is usually a farmer who cultivates the land, trains during the farm break, and joins the army to fight in wartime. The Datang military mansions are all over the world. Martial arts, the people are brave, and everyone is willing to join the army, so there is a steady stream of soldiers, so it is said that the military system of the government is the foundation of our Great Tang's prosperity."

"The strongest is often the deadliest one. The above are the advantages of the Fubing system, but they are also the shortcomings of the Fubing system."

When the meat scene came, Li Shimin immediately cheered up and listened carefully: "You continue."

"The combination of soldiers and farmers is destined to prevent the government soldiers from becoming elite and strong soldiers, and they will not be able to fight for our Tang Dynasty. They have two roles. They are soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime. The training is insufficient. Mentality and will In terms of aspect, it is even worse than the standing army. The advantage of the government soldiers is that they can get millions of soldiers once they are requisitioned, and they can go to the battlefield without spending too much time training. Strong, weak will, no tacit understanding among comrades... You also know that soldiers who do not train together frequently will not form a team spirit. Without team spirit, there will be no trust, and without trust, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. "

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What is team spirit?"

"Team spirit, simply put, is the concentrated expression of overall awareness, collaboration spirit and service spirit. The core of team spirit is collaboration and cooperation. The highest state is the centripetal force and cohesion of all members, which reflects the unity of individual interests and overall interests, and Then ensure the efficient operation of the organization, and finally gather everyone's strengths to achieve the common goal satisfactorily with the fastest speed and the best results. The army is a whole, a complete team, and no one can do without anyone, because everyone has It has its own established tasks and positions, just like the eight directions in the gossip array, none of which is indispensable. The goal of the army is to defeat the enemy. Only by working together can the greatest achievements be achieved. What is a comrade-in-arms? A comrade-in-arms is the person closest to you , is a person who can rely on his life during the battle. Without long-term training and grinding, the soldiers will not be able to exert their due strength. Because they are not familiar with each other, everyone dare not rely on their lives. Once a person has hesitation, once he has a mind of foresight and foresight, it is very good to display five achievements in his usual combat effectiveness. Such an army is not bad in a smooth battle, but once it encounters a defeat and everyone cherishes their lives, an army immediately collapses .”

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Li Shimin stood up with a "swipe", and stared at Qin Feng with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Today he just received the information from Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, that the number of new soldiers recruited this year is as high as [-], but their combat effectiveness is in a mess, and there is no twist at all. The situation is exactly as Qin Feng said.

The truth Qin Feng said is simple and easy to understand, but it is a truth that has not changed for thousands of years.No one knows the importance of teamwork in combat better than Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is a born king and a born handsome talent.He has a characteristic in fighting, he seeks victory in a steady state, and moves after making a decision.Whenever he fights with the enemy, Li Shimin mostly focuses on defense first, making himself invincible, and then seeks opportunities to attack.

When attacking, Li Shimin has another characteristic.He likes to let the large troops come forward to fight, and then lead a small group of troops to attack and smash the enemy's camp himself.

This army is the Xuanjia Army that is so powerful in the world.

In addition to the personal bravery of the Xuanjia Army, the most frightening thing for the enemy is the tacit understanding of the same person in the form of thousands of people.Just imagine, the power of a team with thousands of people in one body can be imagined.

From Li Shimin to ordinary soldiers, the Xuanjia army wore uniform armor and rode uniform horses. They were already superior in momentum. Once they charged, they would press down on the enemy like a black cloud. The elite itself is almost invincible.

When Qin Feng explained the team spirit in detail, Li Shimin understood it all at once.An army that is invincible, invincible, and full of tacit understanding not only needs a lot of time, but also needs shocking wealth to support.

"How do you treat the army, the army will return with equal ability. If you want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world. The army is the foundation of a country, and it cannot be ignored .In addition to the above, the Fubing system also has a defect that can destroy a dynasty."

With a sneer, Li Shimin said with some disdain, "Oh, brat, tell me that the military system is enough to destroy a dynasty."

The Fubing system was born out of the Wei State’s farming system during the Three Kingdoms period. It was the result of repeated deliberations by Li Shimin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty after summarizing the military systems of previous dynasties. It is Li Shimin’s proud work.

There is no fixed top military officer in the government soldiers, and it is safe to hand them over to foreign generals. Moreover, the government soldiers are in the army. They are composed of strong and strong children of farmers above the sixth grade. They usually farm at home and receive military training during slack. After conscripting and dispatching, return to the Chongzhe Mansion to which it belongs. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the rebellion of the soldiers, and the court does not have to bear huge military expenses. It is a system that kills two birds with one stone.

Li Shimin was naturally unconvinced that Qin Feng denounced him directly.

"The troubled times have just ended. In order to protect the hard-won peaceful life, the soldiers can still fight with the enemy. But what about in the future? When the descendants of the soldiers get used to a comfortable life, will they still be willing to sacrifice their lives? Some of the soldiers are quick-witted Good at management, but after all, this part is a minority, and more are honest ordinary people. After two generations, the differences in life and wealth will be revealed, and the rich will try their best to take advantage of the loopholes in the law, or Males from poor families will be hired as impostors, or local officials will be bribed to issue various false certificates to avoid military service. At the same time, there may also be a phenomenon that local military officers falsely report the number of people in order to eat empty pay, and there may also be a phenomenon of embezzling government soldiers' subsidies. In this case, once a large-scale war breaks out, the country will have no soldiers to use."

"In a word, the defects of the Fubing system are mainly manifested in three aspects: [-]. Once a major sudden war occurs, the focus will be slow, which will delay the opportunity of the war; [-]. The combat effectiveness is low, and there is no capital to win; [-]. The willpower is low. No sense of belonging to the country; Fourth, the gap between rich and poor makes military service unjust.”

The main reason why the recruiting system replaced the government military system is precisely the above points, so Qin Feng is not afraid of being wrong at all.

Li Shimin made Qin Feng's forehead sweat, and Qin Feng knew that what he expected was right.After all, he is a person who has seen the big world. It took only a moment for Li Shimin to regain his composure. He did not hide anything from Qin Feng, and said distressedly: "I have been a soldier for half my life, so I don't know what you said. It's just that there is no other way. Military service at its best."

"In the Tang Dynasty, success or failure was judged by military exploits, so the soldiers were delighted when they heard about the battle. It's just fighting without rules, even if you win, you will be defeated. After all, every move on the battlefield is a war involving tens of thousands of people. No matter how strong a single person is, it won't help. It's okay, as long as the opponent has three people who cooperate tacitly, one attacking the top lane, one attacking the bottom lane, and one blocking his attack, then this warrior can only die. A veteran of many battles is not so easy to train. One less There is only one less, this is an irreparable loss in a short period of time, after such melees, there are not many veterans left, and these are the consequences that you need to consider."

Qin Feng's words were like a basin of cold water in winter, making Li Shimin shiver all over.As a great and far-sighted emperor, he knew that what Qin Feng said was not alarmist, so he had no way to refute it.

"What does the tragic victory mean to me, Datang?"
