Putting down the chalk, Lin Sicong took a breath. He said: "I'll be here today first. The formations used in the army now are roughly the ones mentioned just now. After you go back, think about it yourself, and ask me if you don't understand anything."
Wang Xiaolie stood up and led everyone: "Thank you, instructor!"
Lin Sicong said he didn't dare and went to the side to drink tea.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Today, we have finished talking about military formations. I heard that when Commander Yue was in Kaifeng Mansion, Zong Liushou once taught formation techniques. Commander Yue said that the key to a military strategist is to be surprising and unpredictable. Only then can we win. Formation and then fighting, the common art of war and the wonderful use of it all depend on one mind. Commander Yue is the person who knows how to fight best, so what he said is certainly true. Let’s not talk about the wonderful use of it first. When we learn, we should not always I think I am a genius and I can learn what I talk about instantly. To be honest, these formations are not complicated. However, how to form the formation, how to change the formation before the battle, what kind of enemy should be faced with what formation, and how to change in the mountains. , what should we do on the plains, a lot of knowledge."
The others said together: "That's what Zhizhou said."
Wang Xiaolie sighed softly: "Don't think that if I like to say a few words, I will learn it by myself. In fact, it is not the case. There are still many things I don't understand. It's okay if I can't figure it out for the moment. I'll think about it more when I go back. , discuss with others more, and you will always be able to figure it out. What I am talking about is how to learn. Coach Lin spent a lot of time talking about military formations for us. If we don’t pay attention, we will let him down. "
Compared with the time in Kaifeng Mansion, Lin Sicong's lectures became more and more in-depth, and the study was not like that time. When I first started learning, everyone understood it immediately and it was very easy. The more he talks, the deeper he goes, and gradually he can no longer keep up, and most people start to get impatient.
Lectures in the military are rarely given in such detail. The teacher is motivated, but the learner is impatient. But Wang Xiaolie was a serious person and forced Lin Sicong to speak more deeply bit by bit. He only figured out many things during the teaching process.
If it is taught in depth, many people will not be able to understand it or learn it. Learning this kind of thing does not just require hard work. Everyone has their own things they are good at, and accordingly, they also have their own shortcomings. For some people, it is really impossible to learn the current content.
This is where Wang Xiao’s hunting becomes difficult. Training cadres is not about training subordinates, as long as they are obedient. Cadres must really do things and do them well. Excellent talents can still stand alone. How many such people are there? Not much actually.
We cannot think that as long as we find some students and ask a few teachers to teach, we will definitely be able to teach talents. Talent is not that cheap and cannot be cultivated easily. By now, Wang Xiaolie clearly felt that there was a lack of talents and his development was restricted.
He has three thousand soldiers and horses in one state and six counties, and he needs people everywhere. There is a shortage of people to lead soldiers in the army, and there is a shortage of qualified officials in the government. It's just a time of war, so everything is okay. If there are enough talents and three thousand soldiers and horses, Wang Xiaolie can already run rampant.
If there are not enough cadres, no matter how many troops we have, we will only be the king of the mountain.
It looked like some of the people listened, while others were obviously impatient. Wang Xiaolie said: "Knowledge in the military is not difficult to talk about. If it is difficult, how many officers and soldiers can learn it? But simple things, if you study them deeply, there is a lot of knowledge. For example, it is said that military discipline must be strict. But why should it be strict? ? How strict is it? How many people have made it clear? For the same behavior, sometimes there is a heavy penalty, sometimes it is let go, and sometimes it is even rewarded. How to distinguish? There are different standards, how can we convince the officials? Orally? It’s not difficult to do things according to the script, but it’s difficult to explain the truth clearly.”
Xie Linong said: "Xiaoshe people, we are just leading troops to fight, not teachers, why do we need to know so much?"
"Leading troops to fight? These four words are easy to say, but how difficult to do them. To be honest, those who have learned well here may not be able to lead soldiers well and fight well. Those who have learned poorly may not be able to lead troops well and fight well. Those who have learned poorly may not be able to lead troops well and fight well. He is not a good general. Learning and doing are two different things. However, if you learn, it is extremely difficult to do. As a leader, you must study hard. However, you cannot use your academic performance as the standard for promotion. To be honest , it’s difficult for me too. There are people in the world who are born with it, but we are not. Even if someone is, we have to pretend that we are not."
Having said this, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help but shake his head. This sounds confusing to me, and I don’t know if these people can understand it.
What's wrong with you? Not only must the subordinates study hard, but they cannot use their academic performance to determine promotions and promotions. There is a lack of effective management methods. A general's merits and demerits are determined by his military performance, not his academic performance. If you learn well, you will be promoted, if you do not learn well, you will be demoted. This will only cultivate a group of nerds. When you actually get to the battlefield, you will suffer. He has too few talents to be so lavish.
Seeing that a few people didn't care, Wang Xiaolie could only sigh. Said: "Except for Niu Gao and Yu Huan, you all followed my father to fight in many places and made outstanding contributions. You followed me on the battlefield and never retreated. Because you can't learn, I will punish you." It makes sense. However, winter is coming soon, and the golden soldiers will go south again. If you really go to the battlefield and do something wrong because you didn't learn well, don't blame me."
Shao Ling crossed his hands: "Why should Xiaoshe people worry? We are learning knowledge, not learning to be a teacher. Teacher Lin teaches seriously, and we just need to study seriously. How can we say it clearly in one sentence whether we really learn well or not?"
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, that's exactly the case. If it weren't for that, I would just remove the one who didn't learn well. Why bother? Learning well doesn't necessarily mean you'll be good at fighting, and being good at fighting doesn't necessarily mean you'll learn well. , these are two things. The reason why I study hard is to play better. Well, maybe I ask too much. Well, it’s still the old way. Before learning, the instructor will explain clearly what to learn and how to get good at it. Learn it well. After each lecture, you get together to summarize the discussion. Don’t just talk, write it down on paper and give it to me!”
I saw a few people looking sad. Wang Xiaolie said: "After studying for a few months, I should know a thousand words. When I write, if I don't know a word, I have to ask someone, or I can only write a few words. As time goes by, I will naturally know it. .”
Several people crossed their hands and said yes.
Wang Xiaolie looked at everyone and sighed slightly.
There are many things that I think I know how to do, but it is extremely difficult to do them. I thought it was right to build schools, train cadres, and select talents, but it was too difficult to do it. In a few months, smart people can learn two to three thousand words, while many others can only learn one or two hundred words. I feel that people who are talented in fighting are too slow to learn. People who learn quickly do not perform well on the battlefield.
No matter what you do, it won't have much effect in the short term.
How to quickly improve combat effectiveness? In addition to strengthening study, the most important thing is to fight more. Learning war in war is the real way to strengthen the army. How can we improve our combat effectiveness without going through war? You usually study more and practice more, but when you get up, you can promote suitable people to the required positions through rapid elimination. The usual study and drills are just to prepare talents first, and don't use them all as soon as the war begins.
Let everyone discuss, Wang Xiaolie went to the side, sat on a stool and meditated.
After these few months, this kind of learning has obviously reached a bottleneck, and the effect is getting worse and worse. It seems that it makes sense that the training time in the military of later generations is not long. This kind of training has an optimal time. After this time, extending the time will have no effect. What I need now is no longer this kind of learning, but a real battlefield.
Compared with a few months ago, after learning, the army has reserved a large number of reserve personnel for middle and lower-level officers. Which people are suitable and who are not suitable needs to be tested in practice. The selection of talents in the military requires large-scale training and rapid elimination.
August is almost over and winter is coming. The Jin soldiers will definitely go south, but according to their own memory, Henan is not the main battlefield. Taking advantage of this opportunity, what battle should I fight?
