Although Han Confucianism still maintained the six gentleman arts of etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy of the pre-Qin period, and adhered to the five gentleman virtues of benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, etiquette, and trustworthiness, it was not like the crazy pursuit of feudalism by later Confucians. Etiquette, but in some aspects it is also very old-fashioned.
Of course, this kind of old-fashionedness is not annoying. Chen Xi is relatively acceptable and understandable.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi still respects most of the real great scholars. While these people have real talents and practical knowledge, they are also very upright mentally. Well, most of them are old-fashioned and upright and stick to their principles.
However, how can I put it, if a positive person who is upright and upright and abides by his principles gets into a fight with you, it will be the thing that makes you collapse, because the reason the other person does it is really not for himself, but for the sake of morality.
Faced with such a person, Chen Xi could not use dirty tricks to knock him over. Chen Xi's character really couldn't handle such a thing. In the end, he had to carry it on for a long time before the two sides reached a compromise. Of course, it was not It was this group of people who compromised for Chen Xi, but it was because of the general social environment.
Before the Han and Tang dynasties, the control of women was actually not very strict. Not to mention remarriage or anything else, a woman's status could be basically determined by clarifying a few things. In this era, legitimate daughters had the right to inheritance, provided of course that they did not marry outside the family.
As for the second item that can be proved, it is the title of marquis. Women in the Han Dynasty can be granted the title of marquis. Although it is extremely difficult, official history records that four women were granted the title of marquis before and after the Han Dynasty. This title of the daughter of a royal relative and an important minister is not at all One concept is that of a marquis with a food estate.
Therefore, for Confucians of this era, it is actually acceptable to accept female officials. This is also the reason why Wang Yi works hard. To be honest, Chen Xi saw so many women, but Wang Yi really went for the title of prince. The other women , mostly to prove themselves.
As for the other one, there is the existence of female teachers. In ancient times, teachers, also known as teachers, had a very high social status, and the masters of heaven and earth, their relatives, and their masters have basically remained unchanged.
Female inheritance rights, Marquess, female officer, and female gentleman respectively represent patriarchal status, power, and social status. Although it is very difficult to obtain, this path is not blocked at all in this era, as long as you are really talented. , in fact, the pressure they face is no different from that of men, and they are basically treated equally.
This is why Ji Xiang provoked trouble and ruined the performance of seven famous scholars, and finally paid homage to Zheng Xuan, Wang Lie, and Sima Hui, and was able to establish a sect on the top of the mountain.
This era is really about what you can do. Ji Xiang proved himself, so he started teaching on a mountaintop, and no one would be hostile. After Ji Xiang's college was confiscated, Cai Yan took over and started it directly, and still no one cared about it. , or for the same reason.
Once you have the ability, as long as you don't get out of line or cause trouble, no one will care. Moreover, most families also hope that a reliable female gentleman can help control their girls. People are divided into men and women, and Tao is divided into yin and yang. Cai Yan only accepts the words of female students. , all the major families are still eager for this.
It can be said that the social environment of this era is quite good for women in legal and moral terms, but there is only one thing that cannot be passed, and that is - female soldiers, even female field medics cannot do it. This is absolutely impossible at the beginning. Bottom line for most men.
The old man is not dead yet. If we want you to go to the battlefield, what's the shame of 20 million men?
In fact, this was not said by a Confucian scholar, but by a soldier in the beginning.
In fact, Chen Xi understands this aspect, and he has the same mentality.
But this leads to another problem. Medical soldiers are actually very important. They can significantly reduce the mortality rate. Not many people are killed directly on the battlefield, but the majority of wounded soldiers become inflamed and die. And inflammation is a problem. , still exists into the twentieth century.
Those careless male medical soldiers of the previous generation did not even mention the problem of going to the battlefield with weapons to kill people and being killed by others. It seems that this group of people needs to be cultivated for a long time to understand the meaning of cleanliness, hygiene, disinfection, and bandaging.
To be honest, after so many years of development, the upper echelons knew the importance of field emergency doctors. After all, the Qin and Han Dynasties were both classical militaristic countries.
The so-called classical militarism relies on fists and force. Although the Han Dynasty was not exaggerated to the extent that the Qin Dynasty was happy to hear the war, the martial style of the Han Dynasty was real, and no one would do anything in the military affairs. Being scornful.
However, the male medics, let alone their poor skills, would always go to the battlefield to kill people for no apparent reason, and then have to be rescued.
In the end, of course, most of this group of people were abandoned, and the female first responders no longer had the problem of committing suicide. In fact, there was also a problem of ethics and face. In the end, ethics and face were forced to do so when facing military and national events. They gave in, but one bottom line was retained, that is, female first responders must have a stable rear area before they can be dispatched.
Of course, Chen Xi also acquiesces to this bottom line. After all, women are indeed not suitable for the battlefield. War is a matter for adult men. Even if you are an emergency doctor, you have to wait until you have established a stable rear area to join the army. In this regard, whether it is a general or a The soldiers actually expressed their understanding.
Therefore, there are actually not many qualified first aid soldiers on Yu Jin's side. If Yu Jin didn't care before, but now he understands that he can actually save lives, but when the injured soldiers die due to his own level, Yu Jin is actually a little uncomfortable.
Not to mention the issue of human nature, just for every person alive, there will be one more elite soldier behind, which has practical significance for war.
After that, Yu Jin left two thousand people to defend Guo Jia and sent people to treat the wounded soldiers on the battlefield. He led the front army, chasing and killing while adjusting his troops. He pursued for about ten miles. After gathering his own troops to almost the same level, he stopped chasing. Attack.
"Retract the troops and clean up on the spot. The medical soldiers will treat the wounded soldiers as soon as possible. Those who are seriously injured will be handed over to the rear baggage team for treatment. The others will take fried flour to restore their strength. After an hour of emergency rest, they will go north to attack the main force of Kushan and conduct reconnaissance. Forty miles away, if there is any situation, report it in time." Yu Jin ordered immediately after roughly purging the soldiers.
"Wen Ze, how about I lead the shield guards to catch up and defeat them completely? There is no possibility of being ambushed on this plain. The shield guards themselves ignore the terrain. We only need one soldier and horse to win a complete victory." Sun After observing the garrison, he came in person to discuss with Yu Jin.
After all, this wave of shield guards were transferred from Jingling Guard, and they are very strong. If they forcefully march and attack, it is actually not a big problem. The main reason is that Guishang is almost a frightened bird now. As long as he keeps chasing, it will be useless. How long will it take for the other party to collapse?
"It's better not to pursue. The situation is not good now. The Kushan army we are dealing with is not the main Kushan army. General Guan is afraid that there are still 200,000 Kushan troops. Even if we let go, the Kushan army will be killed for a while. It will be difficult to achieve results even after a while." Yu Jin said with a solemn expression.
"Where is General Guan?" Sun Guan took a breath of air. Although the shield guards were very useful, no matter how powerful the shield guards were, they only had 5,000 troops. After all, this legion was considered a test unit.
I don’t see any problem with the weapons used by the shield guards this time. Although they can withstand various attacks due to the completely illegal armor thickness, facing an army of 200,000 people, they will not be able to kill them all even if they are exhausted. ah.
There are a few of those guys who say all day long that soldiers are more valuable than more elites, and who of them doesn't rely on this sentence to boost morale when facing a large number of opponents.
During the great war between Qin and Zhao, if Zhao really had 4 million soldiers instead of 400,000, Qin would definitely have died.
In the Battle of Julu, if Zhang Han had three million prisoners, Xiang Yu would have been drowned.
It is said that soldiers are expensive but not expensive. Apart from the veteran generals who boost morale, the rest are probably just a group of newbies who have never seen what it feels like to be an enemy ten times or a hundred times the enemy. If they were replaced by veteran generals on the battlefield, If possible, who wants to fight a war of less against many?
It can be admitted that elites can replace quantity to a certain extent, but to be honest, if there is a choice, any famous general will choose quantity, because elite soldiers can be trained, and if they survive the beginning, they will be there sooner or later, but that is the point at the beginning Soldiers, if they die, they will be gone.
They are all carbon-based beings carrying one head on two shoulders. Before there is a fundamental gap, can the quality of a single elite really be worth ten times the number of miscellaneous soldiers? Defeating ten times the number of enemy troops on the battlefield depends on nothing more than fighting spirit, military morale and morale.
Throughout the ages, some of the generals who defeated more with less had absolute confidence before the battle, and many of them stayed calm in front of others to boost their morale, and thought of solutions behind the scenes when others were worried about their gray hair.
To be honest, if it is not necessary, no one likes to fight a war with less and more. Once the gap in military strength reaches a multiple, the danger to the weaker side will increase rapidly.
After the reserve forces of Guan Yu's legion were supplemented by Zhang Ren and Ji Ling's troops, Guan Yu's headquarters was left with only 30,000 men, and the three of them together had only 50,000 troops.
With 50,000 elites facing an army of 200,000 troops, Sun Guan was really not optimistic. Although this wave easily defeated Guishang, Sun Guan did not believe that the opponent's main force would be all miscellaneous soldiers.
If there are one or two top elites, with 30,000 to 40,000 elite soldiers, and 150,000 auxiliary troops, and Guan Yu is defeated, Sun Guan thinks it is possible. When the horse passes, the so-called military spirit and fighting spirit are established.
This is also the most orthodox way of fighting, in which the elite lead the main soldiers, and the main soldiers lead the auxiliary soldiers. It not only brings into play the combat effectiveness of the elite, but also ensures the orthodox advantage of strong troops. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and is the most royal way of fighting.
Of course, it is difficult for the Han army to enjoy this method of combat. To be precise, in most foreign wars, long distances and heavy logistics, it is difficult for the attacker to use this method of combat.
